It seems like enough, but I've seen some setups that have a day bulb that shines directly onto the terrarium, and I've also seen setups with no supplemental light.

Don't mind the dog food on the left. I was cleaning my dubia roach colony:D

is it in direct sunlight? I cant really tell. if it is, than I would put it out of direct sunllight. No supplemental light is needed. What is that substrate in the cage? Do you have a heat pad?

No it is not in direct sunlight, packed dirt for substrate, but going to change it once I find the new exo terra desert,dirt looking carpet comes out. And yes, of course I have a heat pad. And yes, the substrate depth on the heat pad is thinner to allow the heat to come through. And yes, my gecko is still alive even though I'm not using paper towels.

I think it looks like your gecko receives the necesarry light. If you have an albino, it might be sensitive to too bright light, but otherwise I would say you are OK :)

Nope! I think it's a high yellow, no albino's here haha:D
