A T5 HO bulb. Either the ZooMed 10.0, or the Arcadia 12%. Either one is good and long lasting. I run mine on a timer for about 3 hours mid day to simulate the UV spike that happens daily outside. Be sure to mount them far enough away. These are good for any species in a climate that needs indoor UV due to a long frozen winter.
In SD, you really don't need indoor UV. Your climate is warm enough and weather nice enough that you can rely on outdoor sunshine for UV.
