It looks nice.
2 issues: Watch to make sure he doesn't move the furniture or decorations close enough to the sides that he can climb out. They're bright, and will amaze you with their ability to escape!
Also, is the clamp the only thing holding the dome? The clamps fail frequently, the light falls into the substrate, and entire houses have burned down. We had a lady on the forum who had the clamp give way, and the light fell onto her hatchling, killing it.
Secure it in some way that it cannot fall. You may be able to hang it from your UVB bar. It's better if it points straight down...there is little chance of Stevie looking straight into it.
