I need help I bought a horse field tortoise yesterday and did lots of research before buying he’s 9 months old and in a 3ft vivarium (while he’s a baby) with heat lamp on one side and long UV bulb. Yesterday evening I noticed the temperature was too high it was on about 40 degrees on the hot side and I was really struggling to get it down , I have a 60 watt bulb, even at night when switching the lights off it was 20 degrees all night, is this because my house is hot? I’m thinking of switching the bulb this morning to a 40 watt one because it just seems way too hot in there. tortoise seems fine he’s basking, walking around, eating, hasn’t drank much but will give him a soak. Any advice please? Will post pic of viv if needed.
