So I bought this tropical reptile essentials kit for my crested gecko because it was on sale (i mostly needed the bigger tank (30 gallon now!) but the extra stuff is nice too)
I’m setting it up tomorrow, but I have a question. The pack comes with the dome lamps that I’ll set on top and then two different bulbs: a 60-watt daytime blue heat bulb and a 13-watt tropical 5.0 UVB bulb.
What’s the difference between the two and when/how do I use them?

If the 13 watt UVB bulb is shaped in a spiral or otherwise like bent tubes, they're no good and sometimes can be harmful to the animal's eyes. Don't use that one.
