My UV-A bulb recently burnt out. It was my first bulb so I got the turtle-specific bulb from zoo-med.


This time around I bought a Noma Halogen Floodlight Bulb (75W) from the hardware store. Is this ok?

Thanks.

Any UVA bulb is fine providing it heats the basking area to the desired temps. Do you have a UVB bulb as well?

[Karawr]

Yes.

But I didn't know if this is a uva bulb. I'm assuming all halogens are uva then?

I use a 50Watt GE Halogen flood bulb for a basking light.
