Hello all,

We are brand new to keeping a tortoise, it was given to us but a family memberwho couldn't keep it anymore.

He is 2 years old and is used to living in a box with no extra lighting/heat.Obv we need to provide this for him. He will be kept inside for the winter/whenwe are at work but outside in our garden (he loves it atm) on other days.
I understand we can use a normal 60w to 100w light bulb for the heat in hisbox? Or can we use LED lights?
IE -https://www.lightbulbs-direct.com/fittings/b15-small-bayonet-cap/candle-35mm-60w-sbc-clear

Our house is kept pretty warm (15-18C during the winter) as we weren’t going tohibernate him, so would we still need to keep him warm?
For the UV we were just going to have a normal "bendy" lamp with abulb in. Would either of these bulbs provide the UV he needs?

Any advice you can provide on this would be great.

FYI - We have got his food sorted and a lot of testing (he refused he eatcertain items but loves cabbage, lettuce and banana!) He's getting used to theweeds.

Or would this bulb work for all of it?
