the black lamp you had is fine. i use that one and another similar one that is a bit wider for the uvb.

This compact is just a UVB light and not a basking combined from what I know. So she has a uvb and a basking and apparently her basking is just too hot. I just pulled up the link from LLL and it does not say that the 5.0 spiral is a basking. To my knowledge the UVB's do not give off much heat. Am I missing something here? Correct me If I am wrong. Thanks!!!! http://lllreptile.com/store/catalog...-/exo-terra-compact-fluorescent-26wt-50-bulb/

they dont put out a whole lot of heat but they do and i think they expect them to be placed directly on the top of the enclosure as close as it can be....they just seem hokey to me (its like firestone tires, once they where responsible for killing people, the side walls blowing out on the once then new ford explorers, they fixed the prob..but no one buys tires from them anymore..just hoses n stuff like that)..once something like that happends i stay away from the "fixed version" or "new version"..

If you are buying a linear tube UVB bulb, then you'll need a new fixture for that. If you go with the 18 inch, then it's a fairly standard fixture you should be able to buy at WalMart or Home Depot.
