Adopted turtles... don't know what they are, can anybody help?

[MarkS]

The compact bulbs have been known to cause problems, many tests have been done to show that they produce too high intensity of a beam and can harm reptiles. While we think UVB is great, too much of it too directly, can be very harmful. They ARE different then the long tube flourescent bulbs.

Do you have a link for these tests?
