No. Your turtle is going to a basking light and a UVB bulb

No, a black light definitely wouldn't be healthy.
Think of it this way: the light in your turtle's tank substitutes the sun. No living thing can survive without it. So the turtle needs a regular tank light and a uvb lamp so that it can survive without getting skin diseases.
