i live in the East. so far i've yet to find pet shops selling those UVB lights that i mentioned. does anyone know if there is such shops in other areas?
my tortoise's shell is beginning to pyramid. i want to prevent that. prevention is better than cure right? thats why i need any of the UV lights mentioned asap.

I've seen those lights before but not sure where
If you need more help on where to buy go to

www.arofanatics.com

Ask around there. Those people there practically live in the LFS Laughing

Err lack of calcium and vit D3 ><

If yours is a land tortise, feed it dark leafy veggies
Grind the cutterfish bone and dip the veggies in it before feeding it to your tortise

If it is an aquatic turtle, just throw the bone in. It will eat it on it's own

Btw pls do not feed your turtles too much goldfish coz they are too high in fat. They can be fed occasionally as treats. The other reason is that goldfish is high in Thiaminase and this is an enzyme that destroys vitamin B which will lead to a Vit B deficiency. Freezing a fish will also raise Thiaminase levels.
