Setup looks great! Do you measure the temp for his basking spot? Because the heat lamp looks pretty far away. Just a thought. But as long as it's the right temp, it's fine!

THANKS..and no i dont have a temp reader in the cage. Buts a 100 watt heat bulb and is good for heating up a 20gallon tank and since i figured its only heating that one side its good? Sooo im not sure lol, when he basks he opens his mouth so figured its a good sign..i hope lol

Doesn't matter with the size of the cage. So, I suggest getting a digital thermometer with a probe, and read those temps. They're quite inexpensive - about 10 bucks. How old is your beardie? Babies need a basking spot temp of 105-110*F and adults need a temp of 95-105*F.

Opening his mouth means that he's regulating his body temperature.

Temps help dragons digest their food properly. Good temps were pointed out. Once you get your digital probe thermometer, you'll be able to determine if your watt is strong enough or not.
