Redfoots Basking

[theelectraco]

Here is my RF basking under his night light last night.

I know very little about redfoots, so please forgive me if my question sounds super ignorant, but how do redfoots get their Vitamin D requirements if they don't bask and/or bask minimally? Just curious, since we're talking about basking.

Folks it seems you are now no longer debating the topic, but debating each other. Stop! I suggest a couple of you to turn off your computer/laptop and go take some walks outside or go spend some time observing your tortoises. Then perhaps you can come back and be civil to each other.

I am don't 'debating' on this matter with you, further posts and Pm's will be ignored.

It sounds like we're now talking apples and oranges. Semantics? Whatever you call the light, if a tortoise lays under it to warm up, he's basking. I think its time for this thread to be closed.
