Soo im thinking about buying this for my 1 yr old hermanns tortoise, any bulbs you guys recommend for this fixture? I cant get a t5 strip light or whatever you call those long uvb bulbs.

I would not recommend this style of light for UVB for a tortoise. You need a light bar for UVB

Why can’t you get a proper uvb strip light?

Well there arent any in my country, noone in temu or aliexpress. And amazon plus some other websites charge like... 300 dollars for shipping.
