Stuck thermostat? Pics inside

Pic 1 Shows Current temp
pic 2 Shows coolant level , Usually sits @ full
pic 3 Shows normal temp before issue

That looks pretty normal. If it gets up to halfway I'd be a little concerned. Thermostat stuck closed will cause your car to overheat, so I doubt it's that. Stuck open and it will take longer to warm up. You should be able to feel when the thermostat opens by placing your hand on the upper radiator hose. It should stay cool until the needle starts to climb, and then you'll feel the hose warm up and get hot.
