Yup!

that compact uvb needs to go, and if that red bulb is his basking bulb then you should replace it with a halogen or standard house bulb

Yes it does work.

That compact UVB bulb needs to go! You need this http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Repti...HSWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312043384&sr=8-1 and you can use this fixture http://www.walmart.com/ip/Lights-of-America-24-Fluorescent-Grow-Light-Fixture/16879945 . They come in different sizes, I just didn't know what size your tank is. (idk what kind of stores you have in your area, or what sites will ship to you, but you can get an idea from the pics. )

Also, that "red" bulb needs to go. You can use a household bulb for basking. Try a 60 or 75w bulb.

And lastly, you're going to need 2 thermometers with probes or a temp gun. You need to know how hot the basking spot is (should be between 100-110F) and how "cool" the cool side is. (Should be around 85F)

Other than that, everything looks pretty good! Have fun with your new beardie!
