Our new Eastern Box Turtle hatchling arrived yesterday, healthy and bright eyed. We (mostly me) are happy with the experience. I soaked him first in a sunny area for 30 minutes. I introduced him to his home for now, a 106 Qt storage bin with coconut fiber and a small amount of cypress for his substrate.
I do have a some questions about lighting and heat.
I've read that the coil lightbulbs are not good for their eyes. I've taken two pictures and wonder if both of them are considered to be coil bulb.
Also, I prefer ceramic heat emitters and I'm not quite sure what wattage and what distance from the substrate are best.
