Use thermometers to check the heat level at hot and cold ends of tank.
I hope you have a thermostat so you can control the temperature.

you can get uv flourecent lights that give off a really natural looking light. i'd definately go for one of those over that globe. however there isn't anything wrong with what you have at the moment.

Compact UV globes are known to cause major eye problems for reptiles.I would be swapping it over to a flourescent UV tube right away.
