Welcome to the forum -- from the pic I would recommend getting him off the sand and getting him some textured NON adhesive shelf liner - cut to the size of your tank insects cannot get underneath easy to clean w/ vinegar/ water 50/50 - sand harbors bacteria and can cause impaction - the hammock I would recommend getting him a fleece or cloth one - these and the mesh type (green) can cause injury to the nails by getting them snagged on the rope etc and then the arm swells up or the nails end up coming off etc -- if you need help w/ the lighting please ask - we do not recommend coils for UVB colored bulbs off white or yellowish bulbs for basking as well heat emitters - the dragon needs a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med 24" for a 40 + gallon tank or a Arcadia Pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb - these seem to be the best on the market at this time - if you need more help w/ diet etc or help w/ the UVB please ask --- happy to assist
