Has anyone looked at their snakes under black light?

I've been doing research for a class recently on the use of UV reflective scales/feathers for communication by various animals, but haven't been able to find much on snakes. A lot of birds, fish, and butterflies reflect UV light as a means of communication and mate selection, but the only reptile I can find with unique scales are Gabon vipers. Apparently the 'black' in their pattern creates an enhanced "shadow" effect by absorbing more uv radiation than the rest of their scales.

However, I have also seen posts where people look at their all white pythons, and some show faint pattern under black light. Just wondering if anyone has found a particular morph (or individual) that is particularly reflective.

Not a python, but emperor scorpion are green under black light.

I think with the BEL stuff it probably just depends how much faint yellow it has since within the same combos they still vary a lot. I keep meaning to borrow or buy one to check some of mine out. I think my super russo will have a lot more visible pattern.

That's an interesting idea .. I've got one of those torches you use in the dark to show the normally invisible bacteria stains .. Is that the same ??
I also have ten albinos ( different snake types ) ..2 LTRs and a luicistic Axolotl ...
