What kind of lighting are you guys using for your pacmans? I just got a 10g aquarium that im gonna divide for my 2 young pacmans. Im gonna use 2 15w incandescent bulbs for light and heat.

i do not use any lighting or heat for my ornate pacman. my room is pretty warm so its not too cold for her. if you want to use the lighting mentioned i would get bulbs that say they are full spectrum reptile lights. these arent actually full spectrum but will do some benefit to the turtles. i have heard that ornate are active day and night, almost all frogs are nocturnal so full spectrum lighting is not usually necessary, but when talking about an ornate, even if they are completely diurnal, they wouldnt get any mentionable light because they spend so much time semi-buried on the floor of the forest, which rainforest floors dont get much sunlight to begin with. so heat would be the important factor here. as long as they are moist and warm, they will be fine.
