Protecting my own eyes from UV radiation
Posted: 06 Sep 2017, 10:28
Hello everyone,
I am building an indoor enclosure for my Hermann's Tortoise. My biggest issue is to figure out how to protect my own eyes (well, also the eyes of the other people and 4 legged creatures) from the uv radiation, while offering the best solution for the tortoise. The enclosure is going to be in "public place", for ex. my guest room etc. At the moment I use a mercury vapor lamp. Did anyone find a solution? I would be very thankful for any suggestions!
