Here is a link online to get a uvb bulb and fixture that is really what you need. I don’t know if they ship internationally or not. If not let me know and I’ll try to find a place for you that does. Also on the food there is lots of stuff that they do eat. They like veg. like lettuce. Worms, crickets, feeder fish if he can catch them. WE have mosiquito fish in ours tank and he tries to catch them but not quick enough yet.But i willpm you my email address and you can get in touch with me there better. Hope this helps and email if you need some help.
The bulb:click here
the fixture:click Also you need a plain basking light(household buld will do) hang it using a clamp lamp. and here is a link for the clamp.
