General Care Discussion :: No uvb for 2 weeks?!?!

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Erm just wanted to make sure my turtles won't get hurt, my uvb bulb is about 8 months old now, and i know its supposed to be changed every 6 months :oops: , but here in singapore they don't sell any of those special bulbs, so i get mine all off ebay.
So as the title suggest, i'll be leaving my turtles with no uvb light for about 2 weeks as i wait for the new one to be posted to me, will it do harm to my turtles? or will they be ok?
Sadly the old bulb is not functioning anymore :(

Im sure it wont harm your turtles. Iv had rescues that have been going like 2 years without uv light just something to keep them warm and they were perfectly healthy just needed a few good sheds of scoots.
