Many of the bulbs are marketed under different names, but are exactly the same.



As far as the best light for boxies, it really depends. It depends on your setup, budget, age of the turtle, etc. Personally, I prefer to use the "strongest" bulb that I can afford and fit into my setup. My indoor box turtles, which are all young, hide 90% of the time. They are buried in the substrate with very little or no exposure to the lighting. When they are out, I prefer that they receive the maximum amount of UV that I can provide them. Due to predators and the constraints of my schedule, I do not place them outdoors until they reach 3" in shell length. It's really up to you to weigh all of the information and decide what is best for your situation. I hope this was helpful.
