Hello!Would I need a UVB and heat bulb separately or could I use an all in one bulb for the UVB and heat ?
Here is a breakdown of the four heating and lighting essentials:Would I need a UVB and heat bulb separately or could I use an all in one bulb for the UVB and heat ?
Here’s examples of the uv and heat bulb you need that Alex has mentioned above🙂
The floodlight should be on a 12hour timer, and you may wish to add some ambient lighting on the same timer.
You’ll probably also need a CHE(ceramic heat emitter) for night heat as we’re quite a cold climate out of our summer months. This should be on a thermostat.
The zoo med or Arcadia brands are best to go with for uv, mount 18-20 inches above substrate, on a 4 hour timer from noon.
Always avoid anything labelled halogen or mercury vapour👍
May I ask what kind of tortoise/set up it is you’re going for?
