hi everyone
I have a 13w reptisun 5.0 UVB mini compact flourcesnt inside a minicombo deep dome fixture hung near center of the tub of my sulcata hatchling. I have it to help keep the live grass, rufa bamboo, and hibuscus plants in his enclosure alive since i take him outside daily for at least 30mins of sun. Ive read alot recently about uvb coils sometimes burning the eyes of tortoises and got a little worried i might be doing him some harm. I have a reptisun 10.0 24" 17w t8 that im going to be replacing it with when i can get a hood for it. Do you guys think hell be okay for now or should i remove the coil light?
