I have a red bulb, reptile warming light to turn on at night to keep my turtles warm. I just read on a site not to use the red bulb as they hurt the turtles eyes. Has anyone heard this? They are sleeping at night anyway...it's for warmth only.

Now for basking they need UVA and UVB rays. Can you use regular bulbs(ones you can buy in non-pet stores) and are there bulbs that have both UVA UVB rays? I hate to spend $10 for ome light bulb when I can get one of the same things at a hardware store for $1.99...
