: Hello, I agree with Marissa, please don't even
: consider a heat rock, these things aren't good
: for any reptile almost without exception. They
: heat unevenly and can have "hot" spots, and
: easily burn the underside of a tortoise.
: You said as an "extra" source of heat, what's
: your primary heat source?

: Also, yeah throw the corncob out, don't even
: use that either, besides being extremely harmful
: if even a small amount is ingested (eated), it's
: very abrasive to walk on. (Step on a piece barefoot).

: niki
I have a 60watt light bulb set at 80degrees and a uv tube, the viv is 4ft by 2ft by 18", do i need heat coming from the floor? (viv floor)
