yvonneBecause you're "new to this," you probably don't know how to read the signs. " Cuddling", "snuggling", sleeping together, are all signs of bullying, of one tortoise telling the other, "mine!! Get out!!"
I use a fluorescent UVB light placed over the center of the habitat. When the timer turns that one off in the evening the radiant heat panel (heat without light) comes on to keep the enclosure warm at night. Because I have my baby set up in a closed chamber the light and its ballast keep the temperature where it needs to be and I don't need extra light for day heat.
