Basking Question

So I'm a bit concerned that my bearded is in his hide too much and not getting all the UV he needs. He has multiple spots where he can get closer to the UV source and for the most part his body temp is always 95+ (aside from the morning).

Since this is my first reptile I am overly cautious about any behavior which seems odd to me so, again I'm sure I'm overreacting, but if he has multiple spots where he can climb to get proper UV + heat should I just assume he will automatically position himself for what he needs? Is it possible that a bearded would hide/stay on the lowest part of the cage and not recognize it isn't getting enough UV? He poops nearly everyday so his metabolism seems fine.

Thanks for your help. This site has helped me prepare so much :D

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
