Habitat - Indoor :: Question about the UVA bulb

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

I was wondering, what type of UVB bulbs do you guys use on your RES. I called the pet store and they said something about a bulb, can't remember the name, but it costs like $40.

40$??I think thats a little to much... I use a 60 watt regular bulb....which cost about 3$ They give off a healthy amount of uva and heat but you will also need a uvb bulb to go along with that...
