My baby leopard tortoise hasn't been eating.

Oops my bad nice catch I was hurrying

is this good for a basking lamp?

 

[RyanW81969]

He’ll probably start eating when you get the temperatures under control.

O.K I will try my best to get it all under control!

What do you recommend? He needs to go the pet store as soon as possible to fix it so it might be easier if you recommend One.

Do you know what kind of night light I can use?

Just keep in mind, you’ll likely have to raise or lower the bulb to get the correct temp. Depending on the brand, 50 watt might be too low. Be sure to check the heat/height chart on the back.

Ceramic heat emitters really get the job done, just make sure it doesn’t overheat. It might be a good idea to put it on a thermostat so that you can regulate them.

I like this one, but destben’s right, 50 watt might be good for that enclosure size
Man, you guys are really blowing up my notifications, lol!

 

[Destben]

Just get one that says basking and isn’t a spot lamp. No colors they dye substrate

 

[RyanW81969]

What Watt do you think would be suitable for my tank/tortoise

I think a 50 would be good I have a tank about that big with a ball python in it and 50 works but you never know for sure until you set it up

Nope, that’s a spot lamp! You just want a flood bulb.
