I have some problems though - the lid appears to be glass (this may just be the photo) - this means that you have NO ventilation and as such the enclosure is likely to overheat and also maintain a higher level of humidity than it should. This can lead to illness and death in your beardie.
Another major issue I see is NO UV light - your Beardie requires access to UV light or it will develop Metabolic Bone Disease - leading to deformity and death. If your heat gobe also produces UV then it needs to be inside the glass lid. The glass filters out the usable UV from the light.
I would suggest making a mesh lid and purchasing a fluro fitting to place above it with a 10.0 UV tube in it...

thanks for the advice...i have the glass lid on there at the momoent because i cant get the bulb in far enough to provide enough heat and if the lid is off it doesnt provide enough heat cuz it all escapes once its in more there will be more heat and i will replace it with a fly screen one...the bulb is also a uv one put through a H shape gap at the lid of the cage...i've even tested it with a key ring that is supposed to change colour in the sun and it changes colour mostly but not completely under this bulb and she goes in her outdoor inclosure a few hrs a day this is just her indoor night time one...but thanks for the advice because before i bought her i was unaware that they could get bone disease from no sun exposure
