Its for my turtles not tortoise. I don't remember when I last purchased the bulb, but I think its about to be 6 month soon so I'll need to replace it. I don't remember which bulb I bought or anything about UVB since its quite some time ago.
I came across http://www.reptilesupply.com/product.php?products_id=1816
They're only about 11 dollars which seems much cheaper than any other UVB bulb since most are around 25 dollars. Anyone use this bulb or why it might cost so cheap?
Also whats the difference between a 5.0 and 10.0 bulb? Does the watt determine how far it shoots? I keep my current UVB lights at about 12 inchs away. They also have "Full spectrum" "Desert" and "Tropical"
Any recommendation on what bulb to get? I'm pretty confused right now. Or would it even make that big of a difference?
I was thinking maybe the 13 watt 10.0 desert bulb would provide enough UVB for my turts.
