When it comes to Exo Terra Repti-Glo 5.0 Compact Fluorescent...
My bulb is about 7 inches above the basking area. Which one should I be getting, and what's the difference?

Also... if any kind soul happens to have a used UVB bulb lying around... would you mind kindly tossing it my direction for the price of shipping? :oops:

I'd go with the 5.0 13w. My lamp is about the same height, I had the 10.0 and it was blindingly bright. These bulbs need to be changed out at least once a year as the UV output falls as the bulb ages.

the 13w is for hatchlings and yearlings and the 26w is for adults.
