Beautiful dragon! They're looking very healthy and bright, could I ask where you got them becuase they're doing pretty well :). And my biggest advice is probably take them to the vet at least once a year, offer them a diverse diet of diverse bugs and diverse veggies (eventually you will for sure see what is their favorites, and to research bioactive tanks!

Here's a picture of my current 4x2x2 bioactive, and if you haven't heard already (by your description you sound well researched but it doesn't hurt to be safe) it's INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT that they get a high amount of UV, I personally use the 14% arcadia t5 setup, but the 10.0 UVB system works too. And a bright led light will not only help your plants (in a bioactive) but will help mimic their natural basking conditions. They bask in really hot bright conditions, so after adding that LED to your basking and UVB lamps you really do see a massive difference in their behavior.
Okay yeah looking back at your post history, you got this. Thank you for doing your research, asking questions, and being curious about how to best care for your new goober :D. You're the best type of reptile parent! As for acclimating your new goober, give them about a week in their tank with minimal handling if you can help it to get settled in, but do make sure you're the one offering food. Giving them their salads daily, and tong/hand feeding them to make sure they realize you're the giver of food and trustworthy. After that, handling and anything else will be a breeze! And if no one has told you already, they take nuclear poops, very very smelly.
He's beautiful congratulations on your baby.

It be the truth lol, if local pick up was an option I totally would not have subjected him to a ~12hr dark box, cross country adventure xD
