An elderly relative is giving me her Mediterranean Tortoise, as she is going into a carehome and can't have it.
I know nothing! A friend is giving me an Exo Terra viv, so I thought I could put it in there? I know it needs UV lighting/heating, but what kind? There are so many UV bulbs out there. Do I need a 2.0, or a 4.0 or a 10.0? And whats the difference? Does it bask, and what king of bulb do I use?
I am not sure how well this tortoise has been cared for which is why I am happy to have it, but I want to do everything right.
Heating and lighting - please help!!! If someone could say, this bulb or that lamp it would be very helpful.
