UVA/UVB

Hey tortoise lovers!
I just picked up another tort Lastnight (it's a slight obsession!) she came with the whole set up, lights and all. She is a 2 year old Russian, her shell has some little dents in it and some flakey spots (ill post pics when I get home)
She came with a reptisun 10.0 UVB bulb, do I need to get her a UVA as well or will she be ok with the UVB

The bulb will produce both UVA and UVB. My only concern would be that it may be older.

Do you know how old the bulb is? If it is over six months, it should be switched out for a new one.

The lady was given the tort with no supplies so she went to the store and bought it all... That was only a week ago, then she decided she couldn't give her the time she need so she sold the who thing
