is it true that even if you have a UVB light you still should take them out for an hour?We bout a UVB light for $50.00 Could someone tell me of a website that sells them cheaper Than $50.00?Because that is pretty high for me
$50 for a mercury vapor or a large fluorescent? For fluorescents here, they tend to cost around a dollar per inch of bulb. But stuff is a tad cheaper where I live. Mercury vapor bulbs are always expensive, finding one at $50 is actually a decent price since they can be marked up to $60. And yes, if you can take your tortoise outside or even house it outside, then do so. Nothing compares to natural sunlight.
Check out the powersun bulbs at reptilesupply.com. $35 for a 100 watt. http://www.reptilesupply.com/index.php?cPath=26_33
Mega-rays are much better than powersuns from what I've heard and read. http://www.reptileuv.com/megaray-sb-100-wa...od-uvb-lamp.php
