no,You need both uva and uvb light
The UVB light for reptiles is typically designed to provide the specific UVB spectrum that reptiles need to synthesize vitamin D and maintain overall health. UVB light for psoriasis, on the other hand, is used to treat skin conditions like psoriasis by targeting affected areas with controlled UVB exposure to help slow cell turnover and reduce inflammation. The UVB light for psoriasis is usually prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Psoriasis is the most common skin disease treated with UVB light treatment.
Turtles, whether they are babies or not, need 10-12 hours of UVB light daily.
No, they are not the same. A black light bulb produces UVA light.
Fish tank light bulbs do not give out any significant amount of UVB, you really need to get a real UVB reptile bulb. You can get them at a great price online at www.bigalsonline.com. I attached a link to the UV bulb section
UV lights should be changed every 6-12 months, as the intensity of the UVB rays decreases over time even though the light may still appear to be working. It's important to regularly replace UV lights to ensure your reptile or plants are getting the proper amount of UVB exposure for their health.

Both UVA and UVB light is used for phototherapy of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma; UVA is usually administered once a week, and UVB can be weekly as well, or sometimes daily.
