Hi, I’m sure this has been asked before so I do apologise but I couldn’t find anything on here about it when I looked.
So, I’m planning on converting this bookcase into a tortoise table for my horse field by flipping it on its back and taking the shelves out. Would this be suitable? I’ve seen it a lot on Pinterest etc but now practical is it in reality?
My main question is regarding how many or how big a UV light I’d need for this size space? And is one heat lamp or 2 best?
I do realise that ideally for a horse field he’ll need at least an 8ft x4ft but this is just a temporary measure until space and financials allow for something bigger. It’s also much bigger than what he’s been housed in when I re-homed him so I’m thinking at least it’s an improvement to what he currently has even if it’s not perfect.
I’ve attached the measurements of the book case and a photo of his current table.
Thanks so much for any lighting help and recommendations and any advice on the table/suitability
