You will need a minimum of 10% uvb. I personally use 12% Arcadia UVB tube with D3, but depending on where you are depends on what sort of lighting you can get. The 100 watt Basking bulb would be ok too, but a normal 100watt spot light from your local supermarket does the same job at a fraction of the cost. Your temps will need to be 95-110 degrees at the hot end/basking area and 80-85 degrees at your cool end.

where up north are you? I'm in clackmannanshire and have family in Morayshire.
I got my first 12% from Ebay but I now get it from my wee local reptile shop. I know that Dobbies Garden centres also sell reptile equipment. If your temps drop bellow 60-65degrees thru the night in the winter you will need an alternative heat source for them at night too. Some people use heat mats others use a red heat lamp as the normal heatlamps disrupt their sleep. Hope this all helps

Looks good but i would stay away from those coil bulbs they have allot of issues with them i would go with a florescent tube 10.0
