Is this an ok setup for 1 Leo?

I am a newbie and just wanted to know from the experts if this is an ok set up. The temp on the right sight stays about 85 degrees during the day.

Thanks

It looks great! My only nit pick would be to up the temps on the hot side to 92 - 95F. Leave the cool side at room temperature and you'll be ready to go!

I agree with Kasey....warm side temps should be in the 90s. Also, especially if it is an albino, the overhead light will be really irritating!

Will you be getting a baby? If so, the only thing I can caution you about is making the hole a tad bit bigger in the moist hide. That, and be sure there is enough substrate in there so that they can get back out :) I had a little one get stuck because they compacted the paper towel too much to get back out!!

Looks great

Just Some q's:
Is the light your own source of heat or do you have a UTH?
Is the 85 degree temp, that of the floor or of the air? Because I see a probe up in the air you need to make sure the FLOOR is in the 90's.

The 60 watt bulb is not necessary, it really does irritate them more than it helps! If you are worried about visibility, a red light (leos are not effected by red light) would suffice.

I agree, warm side temps should be raised in the 92 region. The only other thing that would bother me is the formation of the water, food and calcium dish. The way they are placed may make it hard and messy for the leo to get to them. I would place them flat against the glass if possible. Easier for the leo to get to all of them without having to climb over any of them. Perhaps you could even put the calcium under the wood, where that arch is.
