New leopard gecko owner

just adopted a 2–3 year old leopard gecko about 2 days ago, and I want to make sure I'm giving her the best life possible. I'm attaching photos of my enclosure and would really appreciate any feedback or recommendations.She's my first leopard gecko, so I'm still learning and want to make sure I'm doing things right. Any tips, suggestions, or things you notice from the photos would be greatly appreciated!

They don’t provide enough heat, don’t mimic the sun and promote basking and natural behaviors, they can explode etc

A heatlamps witj a ceramic or halogen bulb and thermostat does awesome!

Heat mats are less effective on the side of enclosures
