I see. I'm looking to upgrade my tortoises enclosure, is there any bulb that isn't too pricey but does the job in this greenhouse?
For what species and how old?
A tube florescent for uvb, an incandescent flood for basking and ceramic heat emitters for added heat and night heat if needed.

What I would do, if I were you and what I did, was to section off part of it too make the length of it shorter. 4, 5 or 6 feet long. Then when he's a year old, you can open it up further.
You can buy a short one but then eventually you would have to buy a bigger one. Starting with a bigger one and sectioning part of it off is cheaper.

Does the greenhouse have a floor? I want to house it inside. How can I add substrate and not make it too messy?

They usually don't have a floor. I used a tarp that was bigger than the greenhouse and taped the portion that laid past the greenhouse up onto the outside of the greenhouse.
