They sell blue "moonlight" bulbs at pet stores allegedly meant to entice nocturnal reptiles to bask, but RES are diurnal so they probably won't know what to do with that. If it's all you have on hand, you might want to measure the temperature of their basking area to see if it even gets hot enough with a light like that.

I don't know if anyone's tried them, though I think Zoo Med sells them... are those the same? Normally UV blacklights and regular CFLs are a no but incandescent, halogens are red lights are OK.
