No the grow lights for plants won't work for reptiles. They aren't full spectrum. They are stronger too, the light from those can damage reptile eyes.

Check around for UV/B lighting suppliers. My vet & her vet husband own their own feed store which is next door to their hospital. They started carrying GE full spectrum lighting for reptiles. I bought one to try it, paid only 15 dollars for it & it's worked out just as well as the ones I've paid 25 or more for.
