Thanks, I just found the Rewpti-Sun 5.0 bulb and that is what I put. I was just wondering since the other bulb said it was fordesert animals. Repti-Sun I also use for my iguana.

The 5.0 and 8.0 mean very little in terms of how good they are. The 5.0 is supposed to be Old Reliable. They still need to be replaced every six months unless you have a UVB meter, and you're best off using two per cage at a time in order to get a good amount of UVB. But Reptisun is the way to go!
