I've gotten a month old beardie. A 40 gallon tank. T8 UVB bulb inside cage. Basking temp 105. Cooling temp 82. Carpet-like flooring. Picture below ... Should I be concerned about anything?

Also, I went to a local pet shop for the first time, and the crickets were a bit bigger than usual. She ate possibly two and that only throughout the day. Basking all day. Began gagging. Happened a couple times. Is this a serious concern or will it pass?

Please do not feed anything bigger than the space between the eyes length wise-- month old only small crickets- please watch him try giving him some water see if he will drink try dropping on his nose- watch for black bearding- are you taking temps w/ a digital probe thermometer?
