Default Help needed in Belgium

Hi all, my first post so congratulations on a great forum! I'm living in Belgium for the next couple of years and wondered if anyone is aware of any decent aquatic or reptile shops here where I might be able to find a replacement basking lamp. Tried a couple of places but they dont seem to stock them.

I know its a long shot but just thought someone might have some info. Thanks

ps. tried the internet but its a bit of challenge if you dont speak French or Dutch.

Cheers

I'm sure you could order one from livefoods and get it posted to you?

Thanks, that's my backup plan. I have a UV tube already so if I cant find a shop by the weekend I'll use a normal bulb as suggested.

Thats all you need

Many people just use a normal bulb to get the basking spot of 30-32*C

What tort have you got mate?

very good question, I'm a bit of a novice at this game and haven't got a clue what they are. I'm going to post some pics and maybe someone could enlighten me. Cheers

Not 100% from the pics but look like red-bellied sliders.

I thought he was on about torts

I don't know what species they are, sorry, I don't do turtles

If I had to guess I'd say yellow bellied slider though.
