Looking for general feedback on temp humidity tank setup

Please click on the links below my comment. There is some general information there and a great link to lighting.
Red lights and all lights of any color are very bad for their eyes day and night. During the day colored lights don't allow their pupils to constrict and at night it casts a shadow that they can see with the 3rd eye on top of their head. Baby dragons need a basking temp of 107 degrees. You may need to get a different wattage bulb to get the temps right. Also, it's most recommended to get a tube style UVB bulb. Coil bulbs and compact fluorescent bulbs don't give off enough UVB and the coil bulbs actually hurt their eyes.
I recommend getting an infrared temp gun to monitor your temps as the analog gauges aren't very accurate.
Your humidity is good though!
