how much better is a 40 watt normal bulb compared to a 40 watt basking bulb?

Honestly, you should just use a regular incandescent household lightbulb as a basking bulb- just make sure you measure the temps on the basking spot to avoid burns. You may need a stronger or weaker wattage depending on the temps. Make sure you also have your UVB linear tube set up as well- the standard is the ZooMed ReptiSun 5.0- you can get it really inexpensively at lllreptile.com
