5.0 UVB is acceptable for box turtles. I would recommend using a UVB tube bulb for a box turtle rather than a compact or coil fixture.

I've seen huge bags of sphagnum moss at Home Depot it was like a 3'x3' block for like 5 dollars. It might work if you bake it too sterilize it.

Hey anyone know where to get hood amount of spagnum moss at reasonable price
I get mosses for cheap at gardening stores/lowes etc compared to pet stores. Same stuff, different audience, different price. At either place just gotta be careful it doesn't have added coloring :)
