winter lighting for box turtles

[LISA127]

I was wondering what type of lighting you all use for your boxies when they need to be housed indoors during the winter time. Any input would be great.
Thanks.

They really benefit from UV lighting such as a Reptisun 5.0 or mercury vapor bulb. If they've gotten enough natural sunlight exposure they can go 3-4 months without UV lighting but boxies given UV year round tend to live longer and have better disease resistance.
