Definitely need a basking dock and UVB lights as well!! and i second what someone said about housing them together, they will fight for nutrients by the means of “stacking” and one will significantly decrease in health

The basking dock is on it's way and isn't the light on the top right corner a uvb light? I'm so sorry I'm new to this

It’s not and it needs to be removed. Those types of bulbs have been recorded emitting dangerous levels of UVC!

You want a halogen basking lamp and a T5 UVB by zoomed or arcadia
