So my UVB burned out today after a month of use. It was a coil bulb that came with the tank set-up. I have read on here that you recommend other things but I can't seem to find the exact answer to my question. What should I get? (It is a 40 gal tank with a sub adult in there.)

Ideally, what would both fixtures be? Going back to the Petsmart website I am trying to figure out what I bought but the tank kit I bought is no longer on their site. Guessing it was this All Living Things Neodymium Basking Bulb http://www.petsmart.com/supplies/bulbs-lamps/all-living-things-reptile-neodymium-basking-bulb-zid36-14792/cat-36-catid-500036?var_id=36-14792&_t=pfm%3Drecently_viewed. Thought it was 75 watt but can't find any markings on it now. It keeps his basking spot in the mid 90s.

Any help appreciated.

Just found your getting started section with bulb recommendations! Awesome! However, I think I now need a new screen top. The tank came with a lid that is mostly plastic with enough area to hold about 3 domes. I don't think I can fit a long light and his basking bulb.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
