well that bulb seems like it would be fine, but the problem is that you said you lamp is only 40 watts, but the lowest wattage bulb listed was 50 watts. so the problem wouldn't be that it is bad for your turtle or anything, just that you may blow a fuse. try to find a lamp that can take at least 60 watts. good luck!
