Full Spectrum
Does a red Eared Slider have to have a full spectrum light?
I am getting a baby red eared slider and i already got everything including a heat lamp. Can I just use a heat lamp instead of the full spectrum fluorescent light? I really dont want to have to spend the money.
It's advised to get a full spectrum light for proper calcium and nutrient absorption.
There's a lot of info that goes into full spectrum lighting. I've done a lot of searching myself for my parrot, but a lot of the same information applies to captive reptiles. Here's a link to detailed info on the subject:

I didn't get full spectrum lighting right away, but now I have it for my parrot. I didn't have the money when I first got her, but got the lamp as soon as I could afford it. The bulb will need to be changed yearly to be effective.
