I would actually try to drop the temp so that there is an area about 70-75F for my Greeks. I think it is a tad bit too hot. With night temps as low as 65-75F.

Also did you get your Tunisians from a breeder? If so who?

: I just got my active uv heat bulb today and already put it on the tortoise table. It is a bit hotter than the heat lamp I was using. The basking area is about 115 degrees now and the overall temp is raised up to about 85-88 degrees. The coolest spot is about 80-82 degrees. I have 2 Greek torts (Tunisian). Is this too hot for them? This bulb seems to be a bit hotter than the standard heat lamp. Has anyone else used these bulbs and had similar results? Let me know what you guys think.
