What lighting do i need for a Tortoise?

There are three ways to heat/light your tortoises home.

1. Combined Bulb, these bulbs are heat and UVB in one and all you need. Remember to use a ceramic holder as they get very hot.

3. Metal Halide UV Lighting. You must use a Balast with these bulbs

2. Spot bulb for heat and either a UVB tube or compact UVB.

PLEASE NOTE: UVB strip lights will need replacing every 6 months.
