I was also confused about the lights and initially got U-shaped coiled type bulb at the pet store. I'm not sure why they even sell those if it's known they burn the torts' eyes. Anyway, I already had ceramic heat emitter and basking light, so didn't get MVP but rather UVB strip light which seems to work great. Be sure to check out the care sheets on here. Lots of great info. I hope your baby gets well very soon.
