Habitat - Indoor :: UVB with 10 gallon

[AllisonChains]

I was wondering which would be the better UVB to get for the new little guy in his 10 gallon tank.

I have a regular housebulb (75) watt for heat. I have been taking him outside every day with Izzy for some real sun until I was sure I was keeping him or not and wanted to spend the money on a bulb.

I just wasn't sure about the wattage, 5.0 or 10 since the tank is only 10 gallons.

I use a 5.0....I believe the 10.0 would be too strong

But then again it depends on the distace away from the basking spot

P.S. this is in the opinion of a rookie

A 26watt ReptiGlo 5.0 wouldn't be so bad and that brand is not too expensive.
