All I can find on the black lights is that it is still in the experimental stage in using with reptiles. Some brands of black lights will produce more UVB than the full sprectrum lighting and a ton more UVA. Whether this is good or not is not known yet.

I thought that somewhere I had read that black lights were no good with iguanas because they see a lot more of the color sprectrum than we do, but maybe this was in conjunction with using them as a night light. Can't find that now, so I could have that all wrong.
