Hi everyone first time forum writer so please be gental lol

I have two baby spur thighed torts and I have a open vaverium with two clip on lights that supply heat but I am in need of a UV light that will be right for two 7 month old gorgeous wallnuts.
I have read on this forum about a number of UV lights that coause damage but nothing about what other lights they use.

Can please someone help me with an actual model / UV lamp name and also can you tell me were you actually get your lamps from?

or

Are there any alternatives that I could try to give my torts the best start in life?

Thank you

I also use the t-rex 100 watt Mercury Vapor Bulb. And I agree with Jenn1 my torts love it. there is also the Mega Ray. It is said to do the same but last longer(?). Here are some sites
