they can't possibly die with a the uvb light. it just helps them to grow into more healthy turtles.

but at some point you need to get another uvb light.

Answer 4

Ok, i have turtles and in the summer time its a great idea to put them in a kids wading pool to bask. The basking light is ofcourse their heat source, and the UVA/UVB light is where they get their vitamins... the sun is the natural way they get their supply of vitamin D when they're living in the wild... so i think u should do that. Just wake up early enough for them to get their 10 to 12 hours in, and take them outside, and put them in the kiddie pool. Kids wading pools are very cheap, i got mine for 10 dollars at walmart. Good luck!

Answer 5

NO, they must have UVB lighting on for about 12 hours a day or they will eventually die.  Part of pet ownership is supplying for their needs properly.  Please get a new fixture right away.  Bulbs need to be changed every 6 months as they lose potency and are no longer effective at producing UVB light.  Order supplies here....they are less expensive than pet stores.

Go rush and get a new one quick before they die! :(

Answer 7

Get a timer and plug the uvb light into that. Saves you having to plug it in every morning and unplug it in the evening.
