Terrarium??

[Georgec]

I got a terranioum once made for a inquana.. its got the uva uvb light and a heating rock, with a trermostat and timer to resemble day and night for lighting.. is tha suited to overeinter a tortoise if thats needed??

Depends on the size of the terrarium and the size of the tortoise. I would not use the heat rock, they are dangerous and have burnt many reptiles.

What species of tortoise are we talking about?

How long is the tortoise? Here's how to measure Straight Carapace Length

How long and wide is the terrarium?

A heat rock is useless for tortoises as they cannot climb on it to bask

I would replace any bulbs as the effectiveness, particularly of the UVB, is limited after about 6 months.

Depending on the species of tortoise, the lighting requirements are likely to be very different from those of an iguana.
