Most people dont have an UV meter around,they install it and think it will do the job for 6 month.They dont know if its too strong,too weak or even working.

Personally il rather put my turtle outside once or twice during the week then put some fakochimicmercural lamp above there head all day long.


Yes please understand that we understand what your trying to apply but please don't confuse or give suggestions to new/Amature RES owners because it creates a idea in there head of how RES should really be treated :) I mean this in the kindness of matter!!!! :)

And oobie58 please for the love of god tellyour "friend" if I have the story right to get a UVB 5.0!!!

Getting a bit conflicting in here :P

Tidaboy9- Don't worry I will make sure of it, and if he is too cheap to buy that bulb then I will.

Thank you all for the replies!!
