Lighting and viv set up help

[LizardOfOz]

My new Beardie still isn't settling in too well so I'm trying to make sure everything in his viv is okay. I currently have a repti glo 8.0 (came with previous owner he claims it's 5months old) so I've ordered a Acadia 10.0 and a back reflector thing. The UVB bulb is currently mounted in the back.
- should I reposition it on the top?
- Any other recommendations?

Sorry I mean the 12% d3 arcadia bulb.

Someone else here said to mount the bulb over the tank instead of on the side. Being on the side, more light gets into their eyes where if it's above them, their eyes are protected by the ridge over their eyes.

Yes, you want to mount it above the dragon so it doesn't harm the eyes.

What temperature is the basking area, and how are you measuring it?

Also, it looks pretty sparse in there regarding places to hide or other 'furniture'. It has a tendency to make animals feel a little unsafe being out in the open, so put in some caves, branches, logs, rocks etc.

Thanks for the info guys I'm still waiting on my new bulb so I'll change it when it comes. I haven't got much in the tank at the moment. I got the whole set up and the beardie from a guy online and all tank furniture was filthy so I had to bin it. I'll slowly start putting more stuff in but I'm a bit worried about freaking him out as he's still not settled and not really eating or basking much.

Temp in the basking area is 110 in the hottest spot but there are other levels that are lower. I'm measuring it with a temp probe. I've measured the probe against a temp gun from my partners work and it's very accurate.
