Surface basking temps and uvb are imperative to the overall health and behavior - how old is the dragon? He should be basking not hiding - what are you using for a uvb ? Brand and bulb please-- basking bulb should be a clear solid bright white basking bulb please no colored bulbs or daytime bulbs they are no good for the eyes

Humidity is good are you getting that w/ a digital probe hygrometer? Those are the most accurate analogs are inaccurate - the uvb is in the tank ? For a fine screen it needs to be inside w/ a distance of 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor

Looks good- just make sure your distance is good your uvb bulb should be changed out in about 10-11 months - he looks good
