An incandescent bulb for a basking area, tends to put out a rather yellowish light and would balance the overall spectrum quite nicely when used with a white florescent. Besides, the UV reptile florescent is more expensive.

right on. so you think i'd be safe to use a regular old incandescent bulb for basking and then a standard florescent or a 2.0 bulb by, sayyyyyy exo terra? i've never had an albino anything before, and i'm a tad bit worried. i don't want to screw up in the early stages and regret it later. i really appreciate all of the help, this is great!
