He looks fine no thin tail or back end area --- he looks like hes gonna shed -- good basking temps of 105-110 taken w/ a digital probe thermometer NO stick ons and the basking light is a CLEAR bright white basking bulb NO daytime bulbs NO colored bulbs for basking and NO coils for UVB-- you want a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med or Arcadia Pro T 5 or a Sunblaster Nano Tech --- those are really good UVB's if you need help please ask
