So i have literally just set up a tortoise table enclosure for my 15year old Hermanns tortoise. However i have got her a 100W mercury lamp (heat, uva and uvb) and the 100W does not seem as warm as the normal 100W heat lamp.
What i am wanting to know is
1. do i have to go up to the next wattage of lamp or is 100W enough for a hermanns tortoise in the mercury lamps?
2. will she be ok adjusting to the new enclosure as she has been in a 6 foot wooden viv and is now in a tortoise table?
3. Are the mercury lamps good for tortoises. Would they get enough heat and UVB?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
