The beard looks like coloring possible shed- I am posting 3 UVB's the one that may work the best for you is the Sunblaster - how tall is your tank?
you will want the 24" or 2 ft fixture and you will need to get this bulb for it

22" Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB T5 HO -- this one is cheaper here than Joshs frogs
or you can get this one you want the 12% bulb 24 watt

Arcadia ProT5 UVB Kit 24"

ProT5 is a highly adaptable lighting kit with high quality internal electronics, a high effective but removable reflector, power cable, fittings kit & bulb

Zoo Med ReptiSun T5 HO Terrarium Hood (24 inch) this one comes w/ a 5.0 bulb you want the bulb posted above -- I went to two different websites and they were sold out of this one- Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0 UVB Fluorescent T5 HO Bulb (22", 24 Watt)

Alright I'm looking at the less expensive ones. Would I be able to hang it inside the tank like the current one?

Yes the Sunblaster is a good fixture - there might be some holes in it to use to hang it -- like picture wire hangers or long plastic zip ties

It looks like it yeah, I might not have to totally rebuild my fixture support contraption. So I'll get that one and the zoo med light.

How tall is the tank and what kind of screen is on it? Fine mesh like a screen door or a wide hole type?

The tank is 16 inches tall and its a screen mesh, I guess you could say fine. here is the current setup.

Sorry to hear your not feeling well seems to be going around --- your screen is a wide hole type so the fixture can sit on top -- just get a piece of basking decor place directly under the UVB approx 8-10 inches
