Inches away. Directly next next to the basking spot is a Reptisun T8 10 uvb.
This light and rock set up was a game changer in his activity. I would highly suggest using a flat rock for basking , it’s what they’d do in the wild.
we feed collards as a staple.
We have a 2 1/2 year old dragon. It took me months to figure out the best set up.
for basking I have a piece of slate on top of a hide. I’ve read warning their bellies is what they need to do to digest properly. Funny that he will lie flat on his slate and then poop off the side, every time...
His basking spot should be some sort of hard surface. I use a piece of slate on top of his structure. The reason is the spot heats up and then they lay on it to warm their underside. This helps with proper digestion. Our bearded was only pooping every 9 days until we set this up for him and now...
The bulb should be mounted inside her tank. I just poked holes through the mesh and used zip ties to hold it in place.

How big is her enclosure? Your lighting sounds correct but is your uvb close to her basking spot? Is the cage over all bright? I found this great blog about tank set up I’ll attach in a separate post here.
Congrats on the new addition. We’ve had our dragon about a year now. The first 6 months were stressful. He is on slate tiles. I honestly don’t know how people use anything else. He also stopped wanting to eat much so we took him to the vet and he had a parasite. To get rid of it we had to...
Definitely agree with feeding enough protein and calcium for a young dragon. You mentioned bone disease. You have a tube light right? Also, the wrinkles seem normal but could mean dehydration. You soak her once or twice a week?
