Question
when i have my turtle can i leave my uvb bulb on 24/7 without turning it off?

Answer
Hi Justin.
When it comes to the UVB, you re trying to give him something he would get if in nature. He would n ot get uvb all day and night.   Youre trying to mimic nature as much as you can and to leave it on all day and night isnt the right way. 12 hrs is fine.

Looks like youre really doing your research Good for you@!!!!!  Thanks!

let me know how else i can help
