Hi everyone! I just got my hermann hatchling and researched info prior until I could no longer read, there is so much info that it's hard to know what's good from bad. Lighting and heat and supplementing with the right vitamin/calcium seem to be where I'm confused. In his temporary home I currently have a reptisun 10.0 26 watt cfl and a 50 watt basking bulb. The basking rock is heating to 95-115 degrees depending on spot but the overall temp in area is reading 80 from the thermostat, not sure if I should use a higher wattage to obtain more heat. The uvb bulb is in its burn in period so I have it set 15" from tortoises shell but I'm not sure if there is enough shady area? Not sure if I should go with the 13 watt uvb bulb or what? If any one has any suggestions that would be great, I just want to give my little guy the best home I can.
