Bought this bulb to replace another identical bulb but it won’t even turn on is there a reason for this

It's rubbish. I'd bin it and get a better one. Mine blew 3 bulbs in 3 days.

What watt do I need for a 30x 30x 45 Terrariam

Best thing to do is to check as it varies depending on what creature you are keeping

What wattage should I buy for a turtle?

This would depend on the breed of turtle and size of your set up.

Is this bulb ok for a Basking light, and for a 2ft viv could i get away with just using this bulb alone?

If it is a healthy reptile you could but if it's elderly, juvenile or unhealthy it isn't strong enough. It is a rubbish lamp/bulb. I wouldn't recommend it.
