Does my baby Bearded dragon setup look right?

18”LX18”WX12”H Exo Terra front door tank
50 watt basking bulb at 12” high on holder
25 watt mini halogen hulb beside basking bulb for his hammock
Thermometer always reads 105 on basking spot
Heat emitter for night
18” zoo med repti sun 10.0 bulb in the back
All lights are on a 13 hour timer

Repti carpet for substrate
Water bowl

Feeding him baby dubia roaches and he loves them! Also feeding baby blend of veggies

He does close his left eye every time I go up to the cage and look at him! I just got him about 4 days ago and he loves to just sit at the doors of the front cage and just stare out!

Need to know if this setup looks good?

It looks pretty good. I would stop using the red light as that might make things look distorted. You probably don't need a light on the cool side if the temps are at around 75-85 (your 105 basking temp is great). I'd also put the T8 UVB light inside the top. It should sit about 6-8'' above the basking area to be most effective.

He likes to sit under the red one though!
But can I use a uva/uvb halogen bulb for the basking light and just have that and the uvb light?

That is the link to the bulb I’m talking about!

If the halogen produces enough heat it will work for a basking light. The UVB light should be next to the basking light so it covers the basking area with heat from the basking light and intense UVB from the UVB light.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
