Supposedly not.
The jury is still out on this, however. I use regular fluorescent on mine and it thrives so far (two years ).

i have heard the same thing w/ garters. some say yes, some say no. personally, I use UV on garter and water snakes. If i kept rough greens, I'd use UV as well.

Sorry, I don't have any pics. However, they look like any rough green in any picture. Most are close to identical.
