Been planning on getting cute little sliders and I 've been doing my research. I've been looking for UVB bulbs, but I just can seem to find a pet store with one. This doesn't seem to be a nice way to introduce myself :oops: :)

Welcome to the site.

I'm not sure where in the world you're located, but any petstore that has a reptile section will have a UVB bulb. The bulbs are also available from many online stores.

ya UVB bulbs are anywhere. I got mine from Petco. Zilla slimline. Seems to work well so far for my hatchlings. They're growing like weeds. :p

I don't know if the OP is in the US. The OP might have limited pet stores in whatever part of the world he's in.

Sorry about that. I'm form the Philippines by the way, and I'm really having a hard time finding a UVB bulb.

Hi, welcome to the site. Any chance you can get your turtle some unfiltered sunlight? There have been a handful of Filipino members here, some of whom had items/supplies shipped to them.
