My roommate has a turtle named Jerry. As a tiny turtle, he cannot provide his own body heat, and the heat lamp keeps him alive. The lamp gives the light certain angles that I would not have usually seen. The shadow of Jerry is seen under him. I think that the lamp is S-Shape because of the straight sides. Another aspect I thought were interesting were the shadows that are cast around the tank. The outer angle of the tank is completely shrouded in shadows but the top area of the tank is very bright. I just thought the distribution of light was interesting. Just the fact that the light controls Jerry's life is very cool. It helps him live and I guess to him that means that light is his life.
