i am looking into replacing my basking light for my 17 year old russian tortoise.
this morning mine broke and i realized i lost my replacement! is the fluker's one alright? (i chose 75w version) it's cheaper and comes faster.

i also figured i might as well replace the arcadia UVB light. (second picture) i already have the fixture so i only need the bulb. LightYourReptile doesn't have a bulb ONLY option. all of theirs are bulb AND fixture. can anyone help me find a bulb that will fit? I prefer arcadia.

Thanks.

The Flukers bulb should be fine, just be sure to check the temperature under it carefully and adjust the fixture height if needed.

ZooMed also makes a 10.0 HO tube. It should work in that fixture if you can't find an Arcadia tube.
