Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2017 12:51 am Heating Lamp questions.
Hi, I've had a red ear slider since I was around 12 years.
I've been a hrorrible owner, not heating my turtles tank and leaving the Heating Lamp on most of it's life. I plan on bettering it's habitat soon as I have started work and I can now maintain it with automated equipment.
Sorry about my crapy intro. But my main question is about Heating Lamps, if i've left it on most of her life how should I go about adujusting it to a day and night schedule Would I turn off the light 1 hour before 0000 hours and keep seting it back an hour till i get a day/night cycle going or ahould i do it more gradual than that? Any help is greatly appriciated and if you need more info please ask.
