The UV does not have to go on the same side as the heat. I usually put mine there because that's where they spend most of their time. Make sure you give them an area to bask so they can get within six inches of the UV bulb.

Well I can't take the credit for the work behind her. She was produced by Sandfire Dragon Ranch. They were one of the original dragon breeders here in the states. I am looking forward to the babies though. As far as the Vivarium goes your setup sounds good. Having the heat that close shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you're not melting the fixture.
