I used for my leopard a 100 watt MVB and two CHE of course this was winter only. In the summer I would have one CHE on at night if they were cooler nights and the MVB come on in the a.m. only if I couldn't get him outside for the day. This was to keep a temp of 80 degrees day and night with a humidity of 80%. The basking should be 95+ If you can get your tort outside 3-4 times a week for about an hour you don't really need the MVB. Please be sure to read Toms threads below in my post. All good for raising a healthy, smooth leopard.
