What a cute little dragon and a beautiful enclosure! There are 2 things I would change for his well being though. First, sand is extremely unsanitary and can cause serious health problems. Every time the dragon poops there is liquid with it. The liquid sinks to the bottom of the sand and spreads, and the bacteria from it spreads much farther. Having sand in the enclosure is about equal to keeping your dragon in a litter box. Most of us use nonparticle substrates. They're much safer and more sanitary, and very easy to keep clean. Good choices are newspaper, paper towels, reptile carpet, textured ceramic tiles, and nonadhesive shelf liner.
The other thing I would change is the waterfall. They tend to hold bacteria and raise humidity - both of which can make your dragon sick.

I agree that the sand is beautiful, but unless you're able to completely change it out and sanitize the enclosure every few days, your dragon is living in very nasty bacteria. Textured tiles can make a gorgeous substrate, as can sand colored nonadhesive shelf liner. Take a look at our enclosure pictures thread at the top of this board. You'll see some amazing enclosures that are just as beautiful without sand.

I can offer you an option with that waterfall.

I have one that I covered with sand I used Mod Podge to glue it on.. I also filled in the gaps with Great Stuff.
It's a basking site for one of my 4 dragons..

Here let me show you.


Just an option.
Hope this helps.
