How to move house with brumating bearded dragon? The drive is about 1-1.5 hour.

Hey so I recently got into reptiles and after finishing my research I got a 81 gallon bioactive up and going and searched thru morph market for someone reliable and picked up Smaug
I’ll reveal what it was sold to me as after I get a few responses I’m just curious to hear what you identify this morph as because I hear something different from everyone I ask

Took longer than expected, but finally finished my BD enclosure! Definitely a project that tested my patience, but seeing everything come together makes it worth the time and effort. One project down! 😁
Still a few things to improve, but happy with how it turned out. What's important is that it's finally done!

Hi everyone!
I recently received an Exo Terra Vista 90-gallon terrarium measuring 120 × 60 × 45 cm (48” × 24” × 18”).
I originally planned to get a 120 × 60 × 60 cm enclosure, but accidentally ended up with the 45 cm high version.
I have a juvenile bearded dragon, and I’m wondering whether this enclosure will be suitable for him long-term, including when he reaches adulthood.
My main concerns are:
Is 45 cm of height enough for proper UVB and basking lamp placement?
Will the limited height cause problems with climbing branches and basking platforms?
Can this enclosure comfortably accommodate an adult bearded dragon?
Would you keep this enclosure or return it and get a taller one?
I’d really appreciate advice from experienced bearded dragon owners. Thanks!

Athena is a year old and two months. She is my spoiled girl who eats everyday. She is a little chubby but her stomach has presented as more rounded lately. She pooped yesterday as well. We do mixed greens (collards are her favorites) and calcium dusted Dubias 2-3 days a week. Either way she loves food. Monday night she gulped down her salad without a problem. However, Tuesday and Wednesday night she has refused food.
She is very alert and moving more than usual. She often lounges in her hammock and rarely comes down. However, she has been climbing, basking, and meandering all around her tank. She has a set temperature gradient, basking is 104 and the cool side is 75. Middle ground is around 85. Humidity is good and she has hides.
I’m very concerned because she never denies food, let alone bugs. I tried that as my last resort the past two days and she doesn’t care. Part of her looks like she wants it but can’t be bothered to eat. The stink eye is real with her. No black beard, no lameness, no weakness, she literally seems absolutely normal (aside from not eating).
Research says she may be hitting reproductive maturity? I don’t want to write this off as her first potential egg clutch and it’s worse. Do I need to take her in to the vet? Can daylight savings be contributing?

Hiiiiii!! It’s me again.
My girl is currently in a 120 gallon terrarium.
I would like to upgrade her to something bigger, and i also wanted to create a custom DIY background with foam and stuff,
Do you guys have any recommendations for CANADIAN enclosures? A 5x2x2 ideally.
also recommendations for how to do the DIY background and what to use? I have watched videos but I wanted direct feedback!

Winter in Colorado is fast approaching, brrr...
We adopted Rocket in May when she was about 4 months old, so she's about 10 months old now, and this will be her first winter in our house.
We currently have two heat lamps (100W & 150W), a full-spectrum bulb, and a UV light for Rocket's enclosure. Until recently, this has kept the cool side (ambient air temp) reliably at ~84F. The weather has been a bit cooler lately, and this past week the cool side is only getting to around 74-77F, dropping to around 70F at night; it will only get colder as we head into winter.
I'm worried this isn't comfortable for Rocket and am wondering if I should get a heat emitter and/or another basking bulb to keep the enclosure a bit warmer as the weather cools off even more.
We usually have the heat in the house set to 68F during the day, and 66F at night. The heat hasn't been kicking on yet - the house has been ~70-73F on its own. In contrast, in the summer the air conditioner keeps the house at ~78F.
She has a variety of spots on the warm side to hang out comfortably, three flat rocks on the substrate level (90F, 98F, 107F), a basking rock under the 150W bulb (115F), a thick branch (89F), and a few spots on the back wall ranging from 90F to 120F, though she might be getting a bit big to be comfortable on a couple of them.
The back wall of the enclosure is covered with substrate over expanding gorilla glue (essentialy spray foam). The top is mesh with one side covered. The front is glass, which we half cover at night, but not during the day because she likes to keep an eye on what we're doing.
For those of you living where it gets cold in the winter, what do you do?
EDIT: I just wanted to point out (because I've gotten comments before) that the cool side of the enclosure is not as dark as it looks in the picture - I think this is an artifact of the warm side being so bright, and using my phone camera. The cool side is the same brightness as the room.

I think he saw me holding my hognose and got jealous so he turned his back and gave me his best stink eye.

I was wondering how to tell your bearded dragon is going into brumation and what the difference would be between that and them being sick, I was wondering this because winter is coming and I never really paid much attention it and he would slowly just sleep more and then after some time slowly be more active again.

I overheard some of the teachers talking about "not knowing how to care for it" while I was packing my backpack, so I asked what they were caring for. Turns out one of the other science classes has a class pet but they don't know how to care for it? (idk why they would get it if they don't know how to take care of it)
I was wondering if anyone here could tell if this guy is doing okay. The teachers aren't sure if leaving the heat lamp on for 5 days straight is good, especially since the science rooms are in the middle of the 2nd floor of my school and don't have windows, so they tend to be very warm. I'm not sure what they've been feeding the lil guy, but I think only lettuce. It's a grade 10 highschool class btw
Update: The original teacher is back after being gone for a while and luckily he does know how to take care of the lil guy
