Sorry for all these dumb questions, but can i use this: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zoo-med-reptisun-100-uvb-t5-ho-lamp

for the "24 hood?

The 24" fixture holds a 22" bulb --- I dont know if Petco or Petsmart has them you can look -- if not you can order the bulb here www.pangeareptiles.com -- they are good and fast ---

The 24" fixture holds a 22" bulb --- and the Arcadia is a great bulb -- it will take the same size bulb the 22" --- the difference between the T 5 and a T 8 which the 12% Arcadia is a T 5 is the strength of bulb I believe --- the UVB is higher which is good --- you will need to put that in the tank approx 12-15 inches from basking if the screen on the tank is a fine mesh -- if you have a wide hole screen it can go on top of screen and the basking spot needs to be 6-8 inches from that spot -- make sure you mount it so he can sit directly underneath that bulb --- let me know if you need help mounting it --
