A week will be OK, but def get the bulb. The oral absorption of Vit D and the skin's manufacture of D are two separate processes. Basking lizards are better equipped to utilize UVB wavelengths for proper Vit D amounts. Also, feeding whole prey items give a natural source of Vit D through the liver.
