What kind of turtle do you have? And yes, most are going to need a flourescent UVB light. How big is the enclosure it is in? If it is a tall enclosure a 10.0 is good to use, (if it is more than 12 inches away from the reptile). If it is less than 12 inches than a 5.0 can be used. How wide (deep) is your enclosure (from front to back)? If it is very wide then you can use 2, but if not then one will suffice.
