Okay, well I'm glad you posted his lighting, because you've got some problems...but don't worry, now you'll know and can fix them ASAP to get him on the right track...
First of all, the red Basking Bulb is not appropriate for a Bearded Dragon, they see in full color just like we do, and any colored lights (red, blue, green, purple, black, etc.) will confuse night and day for him, mask his live insects, and most importantly, he's a desert reptile that needs 13-14 hours of strong, intense UVB/UVA light and bright-white colored light/heat, just like natural sunlight. So for his daytime Basking Bulb you absolutely must have a bright-white colored bulb, either a reptile specialty basking bulb that is bright white in color, or most of us just use regular Halogen Indoor Flood Bulbs, like the kind you buy at Lowes, Home Depot, or Tractor Supply. So this is hugely important to get corrected ASAP.
In addition, your UVB light is completely inadequate for a Bearded Dragon as well for 2 different reasons, and this is the biggest problem that can cause very serious health issues in a Bearded Dragon who needs a very strong, appropriate wavelength UVB/UVA light. So this also needs corrected immediately.
First of all, you cannot use a compact or coil UVB bulb for a Bearded Dragon, they are far too weak in UVB output (only 13 watts, while the appropriate UVB tube for a Dragon is at least 24 watts). The compact and coil UVB bulbs also tend to cause severe eye and neurological damage to them. In addition, that mesh lid is blocking around 40% of the UVB light that this already far too weak bulb is emitting, and it would have to be totally unobstructed (under the mesh lid) and within about 3-4" of him for him to get any adequate UVB or UVA light from it at all (which would hurt his eyes/skin). Instead, Bearded Dragons need a long UVB tube (at least 18" long, 22" or 24" is better) that is ideally the stronger T5 strength of UVB tube, as opposed to the much weaker T8 UVB tubes. I'll explain the difference below...
The second problem with your UVB bulb is that it's only a 5% UVB output (5.0), and a Dragon needs at least a 10% UVB output (10.0). However, even the 10.0 version of the compact or coil UVb bulb is not adequate for a Dragon because it's too weak at only 13 watts, that's why you need the long tube, so the Reptisun you want is the Reptisun 10.0 UVB tube that is at least 18" long, inside a matching length tube fixture.
There are 2 different strengths of UVB tubes, the weaker T8 and the much stronger T5. The difference between them is that a T8 tube is usually only 15 to 17 watts (depending on the brand) and as such also cannot sit on top of a mesh lid, they must be mounted to the underside of the mesh lids using zip ties or wire. The T8 tubes must also be at least within 6" of your dragon's basking spot/platform, and they must be replaced every 6 months at the oldest, as at that age they no longer emit any UVB light at all.
In contrast, the much stronger T5 UVB tubes are at least 24 watts, and as such are strong enough to sit on top of the mesh lid as long as your dragon's basking spot is within at least 11" of the tube. Also, the T5 tubes only need to be replaced once every 10-12 months, as they have a much slower UVB decay rate.
As such, we always recommend getting dragons either a Reptisun 10.0 brand or an Aradia brand (the two strongest and safest brands with no harmful byproduct light rays emitted) T5 strength UVB tube, as not only are they 500% better for the health of your dragon, but they also save you money, as they only need to be replaced once a year as opposed to having to replace the much weaker T8 tubes once every 6 months.
The best deal I've found is online at Amazon.com on the 22" Reptisun 10.0 T5HO UVB tube, which costs around $24 or so, and then they also have a 24" T5-rated tube fixture that has an included metal reflector that sits behind where the UVB tube sits (very crucial to reflect adequate UVB and UVA light throughout your dragon's tank) for around $28. So for around $50 shipped you can get both the best UVb tube available for a dragon and a quality fixture for it.
Please make these changes immediately, as without adequate UVB and UVA light (he's pretty much getting none right now) they cannot absorb any nutrition from the food that they eat or the supplements that you give them, including calcium, nor can they process or use any vitamins or minerals. This will quickly result in a severe Calcium Deficiency and MBD...
