Thank you so much KarrieRee !!!
I’ve just ordered everything you mentioned except the hood, which I found on Amazon but had horrid reviews saying they arrive damaged or not working. I’ll keep searching! Also if I get rid of the under tank heat pad, how will I keep the right temp in the tank? Will the basking light do this? Nova’s tank is on the second story 9of our home, and it stays pretty warm up there even in winter. I would say it doesn’t get below 69 degrees at night up there.
So basking lamp on one side, UVB bulb across top above the screen? Where should the water dish be placed, near basking or on cooler side of tank?
I appreciate your guidance so much!

I just thought I'd pop in and say that I find it useful to have an LED lightbulb (non heat producing) on the cool side of the tank, since dragons prefer bright enclosures during the day. It encourages them to eat, if I'm not mistaken.
Good luck with your salad fixing and renovations! For things like carrots and squash, I find that grating them really made my boy more likely to eat them - I use a tiny hand grater from the dollar store that was probably meant for cheese. As for raising the basking platform, you can pick up bricks or concrete pavers really cheaply at a home improvement store, and stack them to allow for closer access to basking light and UV. Added benefit - they're great for wearing down nails!
Good luck!
