What I meant about the tort is that the light have a drying affects on the shell, your anus. When tort grows too fast a lot of the get MBD, and then the shell which are made from carotene (the same stuff as your finger nails) harden and get heavier, it pushes on the soft bones and over time the shell is distorted into weird shapes like what you see. It's kindda like bow leg you see on humans who don't get enough calcium. The weight of the body put a lot of strain on the leg bones.



And I've seens lizards dying under the lights not tortoises. BAsically, it was an open screen top and when you put the lights on it, it's kindda like beef jerky machine. I forgot to mention that. If memory serves me right, Just like you said over and over and over again...you don't like screen top.



A lot of herpers keep a lot of animals too and yet you act like you the only one who knows everything and they are completely wrong. Even a lot of geniuses (and I'm not kidding) admit, they, too, do not know everything. You act like you are geniuses, which I seriously doubt by the manner you speak to people.
