Is it safe to use a grow light (plant light) for a turtle aquarium instead of a UV light?
UV bulbs for reptiles are kinda expensive…if I use a grow light, will my red eared slider still get the right level of UV he needs? The bulb is a 50w Sylvania Spot-Gro bulb but the package doesn’t say anything about the kind of UV it gives off. Thank you.
The spot grow is an incandescent light bulb, and doesn’t produce useful UV spectrum. You need a fluorescent light fixture and a proper reptile UV bulb. It only needs to be on a few hours a day. Without it they always succumb to bone disease and nutritional deficiencies.
You also need a heat lamp over the basking area, if you don’t have it already.
