Reds...
hey...
As red foots dont need high UV, will a 5.00 be good enough? And change it every 5 months? Also, how long can they go withought a uv bulb for incase it blows?

soem people keep theirtortoises without it for years. Of course thats not recommended.
a couple of days without should do no harm, but I'm not sure really.

 A week or 2 or even a month wouldnt 'matter' though would it. Considering they have UV all their life!In no way am i saying i dont use UV bulbs. I DO but i am just asking.

Hi Tom, using a 5.0 is fine for reds.
Reds only have pockets of sun in the wild, so no need to over worry, just make sure they have their temp grades thou.

why not buy two everytime your at the shop.
that way you'll have a back-up if one goes. OR keep the last one you changed, so if your new one goes out you have that as a tempory

Thank you, a 5 it is then. Oh, by the way, i always do get one A.S.A.P BUT, when they do blow, like i had one that blew after 6 days ******* hell you no. ANd i did have the money, but i had other tings that needed to be sorted due to family health. SO they went withought a Tube for a week,a nd i felt really bad. Thats why i was asking.
