I was woundering if it is safe to use a real black light for a night light. What i mean by real black light is that it's the kind that makes things glow not the reptil night lights.I was woundering if it can heart his eyes.

It's my understanding that black light acts like sunlight in that it produces the vitamin D3 which helps in the absorption of calcium in lizards. So using it 24/7 may be overkill, but I haven't heard of any ill effects from it. JMO

had pointed out to me awhile back a blacklight puts out UV rays which to some bp's like an albino could be quite harmful,I guess it would be like being in a low power tanning bed that u cant get out of.but definitly do some more research on the matter
