Hi, I'm getting my first tortoise tomorrow (Russian tortoise). I set up the enclosure and everything and I noticed that the UVB bulb really doesn't do anything. There is a slight difference between on and off but not much. I was just wondering if that really matters? Its not bright but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't effective right? The basking light is brighter but it doesn't emit UV rays so yeah.
Also, can the enclosure be near a window with the blinds down?
