The UVB from my Beardy goes down into the bluey cage as well is this enough UVB or should I get one for it
 
What?
You did or did not get UVB for them?
I would be giving them UVB.
 
UVB will not penetrate the glass of either enclosure.
Bluetongues need UV for the exact same reason as beardies. They need to synthesise vitamin D3, to help in absorbing calcium.
UVB lighting is essential to avoid metabolic bone disease and calcium deficiency.
You should definitely get a UVB bulb for you bluetongue.
 
UV rays dont go through glass so your set up is doing absolutely nothing for the blue tongue. Definitely get it its own uv light.
 
as said UV does not travel through glass,
id get one pretty soon incase it doesnt start getting MBD let alone if it does already..
