Hi everyone, im new to this so please be patient lol, im looking to get a horsefield tort sometime soon so im doing lots of research and buying!!

Im getting really confused with the lighting and heating ive looked through a lot of the posts on here already and kimbos website but im still so confused. He/she will be living in a converted rabbit cage and using 50/50 substrate - is a combined light better?? Or separate?? What wattage do I need?? Will I have to have some kind of holders for them?? If someone could tell me exactly what i need or even a link I would be sooo grateful. Thank You in advance!

Hi, I'm also new to this.  I have found  website 'the tortoise lady' She has advised me to get a combined uva/uvb light that is suitable for my tort Albert.  The wattage that i was advised to get was 100w Exo Terra Solar Glo, Think you will probably need a clamp with it as I'm not sure whether it comes with one, but there is a question form you can send to her before purchasing.  They also sell stands for the clamps, but I'm just using and old standard lamp stand, from a lamp I dont use anymore, also cuts the cost down slightly as setting up can be very expensive.  Also my horsfield has lots of rocks and large stones to climb on and his subtrate is sand and soil, because as you probably already know they love to dig!! But have a look on the website just type thetortoiselady into your search engine. She is very experienced.  Hope this helps and good luck!!
