I have a 400 W Metal Halide bulb I was using for a greenhouse and I heard it could be used for turtle basking spots to provide heat, light, UVA and UVB. Is it true?
From the homegrowers soul, straight to his lungs. That's the method that I myself find fun. Start from seed and then you'll see, just how fun homegrowing can be.

I doubt it ....from what I know, they are used to supply light for coral. And the double ended ones pull alot of power and have a risk of explosion. Plus they have some pretty nasty chemicals and heavy metals inside them.....not worth the risk IMO.....
