Hi Please help me!!!
I would love a tortoise but the heat and light confuses me as it does to so many, I understand uvb is needed and I understand that its needed to be between 10-12 hours of heat per day,
day (75-90 degree f)
Basking (93-96 degree f)
night (60-75 degree f)
what I DONT understand is how far does the UVB bulb need to be from the floor of table
what wattage the UVB bulb needs to be
where should the bulb be (a lot of tables show a shelf for the light to be in the middle of table but this doesn't seem right to be in the middle as it adds heat to the entire table)
please help I really want a tortoise!!
Thanks for your time.
