Lighting

[Wildwilson]

Hey everyone, its been a while. Been busy the past couple months transferring to a new college and getting settled here. Hoping to get another cham in the coming weeks. I have a question about which bulb to use. I currently have a reptisun 10 from my old cham. But over the past couple months of doing research i have found that a lot of people use just household bulbs. My question is: does the household bulb work as BOTH a uvb source and a heat? I cant seem to find anything about this or i find conflicting arguments. Thanks
Ken

You need a uvb bulb

Linear UVB bulbs are best.(tube lights) They can be found at a pet store or online. I use a reptisun 5.
