Thanks for all the advice.
I think I will look into a combined, with maybe a ceramic for night heat if the room is too cool. Just a bit worried about spending so much on one bulb, in case it doesn't last too long. I've seen some quite bad reviews but hopefully it'll last the 2 years! |

edit: after digging around reading reviews and research I wont be using the combined bulbs until more is known about them.. there is to much conflicting stories and i know that tube lighting has been around a long time thus more is known about any effects/drawbacks and are generally regarded as safe for all reptiles.

I've been using combined bulbs and am currently not impressed with what I'm getting for my money. 5 bulbs + 2 more required right now in 13 months is costly. If I were to get the two I require now, that would be £350 worth of bulbs in just over a year. Yes they give better light and better UVB but I might be cheaper moving to the south of France with my torts and just using the sun |
