I don't see a basking area, what heating do you have in his cage?
Don't bother putting calcium and vitamins in his water, the supplements on his food are plenty, and you shouldn't need them at all, really.

Hi, it`s perfectly acceptable to use bark on top of a soil/playsand mix, it holds humidity quite well itself, it will also stop the soil drying out too quickly.
