ok, you HAVE to turn the light off at night, and UVB bulbs are flourecant, if its 65 watts, and incandescent, then its a UVA which does very ilttle good for the anoles health... but four. for the UV, 65 watt for heating, pointing to the basking spot

NO, UV lights ARE flourescent....... you need about a 60 watt incandescant (regular) fo heat, and a UV Flour. tube for UV...., which will also provide a lot of light, but they’re only about 15 watts
