Not sure if this hobby is meant for you if you don’t have the funds to provide for your Cham then he/she is in big trouble. This can become a expensive hobby. I hope that’s not the case and your just tight on cash rt now. Your Zilla mini bulb is no good and for the red and blue light from what I know tends to break very easily. You can go with a standard house light bulb for heat. But you still will need to provide a UVB light source a reptisun T5 HO or Arcadia bulb will do the job.

Until you can afford the $50 UVB you can take him outside for an hour or two of direct sunlight Daily. A few hours of sun = many hours of basking under a UVB bulb.
Cham keeping is a expensive hobby, start saving your money.

Something I do to make sure I have cash on hand for the unexpected animal issues is keeping an envelope aside and putting in $20 or more each pay check. This recently helped save me from maxing out a credit card when one of our animals needed xrays and an ultrasound.
So depending on your financial position putting anything aside helps.
Definitely recommend getting a T5HO linear fixture for UVB but you can also go with a T8.
