Is this not enough space for my beardie ?

I recently was given a new tank for my beardie , but I’m now worried it may not be wide enough or too short. Right now I have her in a 20 gal ZooMed tank.

This new tank is homemade so it’s made w wood & has a wood bottom is that okay?

The measurements of the new tank are 64.5 inches long, 15 inches high and 13.5 inches front to back.
Is this too much space length wise & not enough width or not tall enough ? Or will it be okay for her.

Also if this was okay how would I go about placing her uvb tube light would I focus it more on one side, place it in the middle , or just get another one to place on the other side ?

Hiccup he is 6 and Blaze is 4
I agree the tank is not wide enough --- optimal size tank for a dragon is 4x2x2- that is a 120 gallon tank -

Still would be better than the 20 gallon you are using now, but I agree, the dimensions aren't optimal at all for an adult :)

I wouldn't go any less than 18 inches wide for an adult at the minimum.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
