Or this one?

I am not familiar with the product in the first link, and have not used the second. A fair number of people, however, do seem to be using Repti-Glo's.

Well thanks for the feedback, I just dont want to get a piece of junk

You don't want to go for the cheapest or least known (least proven) with UVB lights. Hopefully someone who has a Repti-Glo will respond.

Thats what Im hoping for :=)

I have the 13watt version of this bulb (Repti Glo 5.0) which I picked up by accident. It seems to be OK, perhaps a bit underpowered. I think its good for the summer months when I take my turtles outside regularly but I will not use this during the colder months. If your turtles never get natural, unfiltered sunlight, then I would consider something stronger.

Which one have you tried?

I think there are several on here who use the Repti Glo 5.0 and are happy with them. You can put that bulb fairly close to the basking platform, within 8" to 10".

Thats really the one I am leaning toward I just wish I knew more about that company before I ordered from them

I have orderd that bulb from that site
And it works good


I havent had any eye problems or any other issues

Just make sure to keep it 7-12 icnhes away from the basking spot

Thnk you soo much, which one did you get?

The same exact one from the second link you posted

Oh Ok cool them Monday is going to love it along with the new 30 gallon tank she is getting today

I use that and Serra really likes it. I placed it very close to Serra's basking spot and she basks a lot. She never had any eye problems, either.
