I keep asking turtle questions here because turtleforum.com won't let me post for some reason, sorry.

Anyway, for lighting for the RES I am building a home for, I am looking at the Repti Glo 8.0 15W bulb. It provides 33%UVA and 8%UVB, and it says it is meant for desert terrariums. Is this too much UV light for an RES? Also, will it work in a standard flourescent light strip, or do I need to buy one specifically for UV light bulbs?
 
I use Repti Glo 5.0's over my RES. They fit standard flourescent fixtures. No need to spend more money at the LPS on a special one. Have you been over to redearslider.com?

Check out their forum, I just set up an indoor pond in my room for my RES and used that forum as a resource.
