Im afraid my turtles may be suffering and on the verge of letting go. I didn't know about the importance of ubv lighting until a couple months after housing my turtles. Luckily they were in hibernation so I think that's what has saved them so far. I feel terrible.. so please I'm only asking for help- not judgement. I know I can go to a pet store and get exactly what I need but the funds are an issue at the moment. But I'm going to post an image of a bulb I got at home depot (store credit) in hopes that it provided the same thing that a reptile ubv light provides. Please any advice is so appreciated and I'm desperate for answers. I live my little guys and I want to make sure they are completely happy.. and as I said, time may be of the essense.
Here's the bulb I got.. it's a grow light for plants. I dunno if it has the same properties as the light my turtles NEED.
