Question about lighting

[kelseyrae]

Hello all,
I recently acquired a new, bigger tank for my beardie. It was originally an aquarium so the lid came with two lighting fixtures that hold fluorescent lights. Can I use these instead of UV lights? Are there fluorescent bulbs that give of UVA and UVB?
Thank you!

flourescent lights are actually the best way to provide UV. Yes, you can buy UVB bulbs for them. You need to find out if they are t5 or t8 fixtures and their length (for the bulb not total fixture) to order the correct bulbs. Reptisun 10.0 and arcadia 12% are two good bulb choices.
