Thank you very much for such a competent and thorough answer Ingo!

I already bought bunch of HQL lamps for my terraria and installed half of them (dammit, I spent a fortune on them), but I'm still willing to try metal halides. Since I live in Europe, mentioned brands of lamps are, more or less, available to me so I can choose between Osram HQI or HCI and Sylvania HSI-TD lamps (70, 150, and 250 W). Could you, please post some pictures of some of your smaller tanks just to give me the idea of the general setup of such lightning?

P.S. I just ordered your T. lepidus book

P.P.S. After browsing some pictures on the internet (especially Siegfried & Erica Troidl's lacerta.de website)I'm pretty sure your assumption that I might have T. lepidus nevadensis was correct. My animals look almost identical to those i find on lacerta.de!
