I am new to tortoises and I would just like to say I have the money to pay for everything but who doesn't want to save some money?
Note: I don't have the tortoise yet I am still working on it's enclosure first.
I know not to even consider skimping on a good UVB light but as far heat/light lamps go they are expensive! Has anyone successfully used a household lightbulb as a heat lamp for basking?
I haven't had luck getting my temperature up to the 90's for the basking spot and the overall temp is still around 60. Maybe I'm not waiting long enough?
My tortoise is coming soon so help would be appreciated!
Thanks
