shes looking good,i believe thats a wa ridgie,as thats what jason breeds,50 odd degrees is fine as a basking spot for youngens,i usually go 50 to 60 for the young ones,closer to 50 when there still hatchling size as they dehydrate quite easily,also being so tiny they warm alot quicker than an adult,where they spend time in there stacks is a good guide to your temps,mine like the first or second level down from the basking spot,gravid females more in the first level,rest of the year thewre normally the second level down the most,but ive staggered my stacks to be more like a pyrimid and have a flat rock wedged into the second level as well,my floodlight half hits the top level of the stackand the other half goes down the front of the stack to the flat rock basking spot at second level down height,they love sleeping tight against the warm rock at night and also bask on the rock alot,but also go up top of the plystack for extra warmth alot,the thing is to always give them choices,from hot as to hot,all the way to cool,they will tell u what they want and if u need to adjust
