Hi I was wondering if anyone could recommend the best UVB bulb/set up for my tortoise?

If not could someone let me know what watt I should be getting at least.

Many thanks

I use EITHER ONE (not both) of these:

I buy 100 watt when I use this one -

And I buy the T10 when I use this one -

I use the power sun one also, 100 watt

So these are the two I should get and when should I use them and how long for?

Also should I be using a ceramic heat lamp in the evenings as I read that the don't need heat at night which contradicts what I was told.

A Greek only needs additional heat at night if temperatures drop below 65F (18C). Many homes hold their heat at night, but some do not.

If you have a cold home, get a CHE and use it with a thermostat set at 65F/18C so it only comes on if needed.
