Hello I'm a new bearded dragon owner and am wondering how many inches my heat source should be to my basking spot. In the 1st pic I feel like its too close to the heat source, in the 2nd pic it looks just right . The 1st pic the the one I've been using since I got him. Geralt is about 2 months old I think. Basking spot is about 105- 110 fahrenheit.
100 watt bulb.
2nd pic looks like about 6 and half from heat source
1st pic looks about 5 half

You need to get the basking surface spot temp-- digital probe thermometer wait 10 min then get the temp 105-110 adjust according - we normally recommend no closer than 8" --- what are you using for a UVB? No coils please

Ok I've been doing some research and I found that maybe t8 10.0 bulb would be best if placed inside his cage. Because I can keep the branch in their while him still being 6-8 inches away from the uvb tube. Would that work?

You can use the T 8 if you like just make sure your changing the T 8 out every 5 months -- they say 6 I recommend 5 -- the fixtures are different -- the T 8 is a fatter bulb whereas the T 5's are skinner bulb
