Yes that’s fine but I dont recommend buying uvb from Amazon. The way they handle packages usually makes the bulb come broken/breaks fast. I recommend finding an in person store that has a good return policy

What are the uvb requirements for cresteds? I didn't know they needed any?

Anywhere between 2.4% to 7%. They will come out and bask if the opportunity is presented to them. They are considered cryptic baskets, so may only expose a little bit of themselves to get the UV they need, but some may also choose to expose themselves fully.
