best fluro tube for a turle???and hadleing questions??

lighting
ok i have a 4ft fluro light for me tank that i am getting turtles in as soon as my lisence come lol ( should be 2moro but latest thursday ) and i have read the care sheets but none say what brand or type of bulb is best, or if it needs to be used in conjunction with a basking lamp.
so my question to all u turtle lovers what type of fluro is best and if u still need a basking lamp.
As i realy want to do everything i can to keep my turtles heathy and very happy . but i dont no how i will fit a basking lamp on my tank with the fluro so i am hoping to get a tube that does it all.
handling
ok i havnt yet desided on a size i want to get but i am goting for the smaller ones but want to be able to take them for a walk out side and pick them up from time to time so they become acustom (dont no if thats right way to use that word just herd it on the simpson lol) to it so they are play full and stuff.. so what is the min size u can handle? and how long is it safe to handle? and what is the best way to handle them?

thanks alot for reading my paragraths with lots of junk in it lol my only excuse is i am very excited
