Zen Habitat Setup

Hey guys!
I finally got the last part for my lighting setup today, so I decided to start putting everything in to see how the temps checked in.
And this is it.
I have two 90w Philips Halogen bulbs on the left side. The basking area is 108, great.
I added the CHE 90W on the right side because the Temps were in the low 70s without it. Now, it's at 81° on the right side, with my middle at 84°
I'm going to be getting a baby, so I need it to be warmed. I'm thinking that I need to add a third light for the center/cool side. I'm also worried about it getting too cool in the nighttime with just the one CHE.

Any tips/tricks/recommendations /feedback would be great!

P. S. My UVB is in there, but with the angle you can't see it.

Soo, I've been searching for what seems forever to find something to hold my tank. I wanted something that would cover length and depth, nothing was ever deep enough (that's what she said). Anyway!
I got two of these cubby shelves from walmart and put one in front of the other. I love it. Great for storage, and I'm even going to make two of the cubbies cozy enough for my kittens to relax in.

Yes looks good so far --- but you will need to watch those kittens -- they will think the dragon is a play thing and kill it -----

Yeah, I'm aware of their predatory instincts. The dragon will be safe, no worries!
