yes the towel method is what i am using with my bearded dragons. sandy colord towels 1.50$ at walmart. pretty darn thick too. covers more then a 50 gal breader. the exotera red bulb, 100 wat is what i have above him right now. in a large dome. he doesnt seem to be botherd by the light and has not moved from his sleeping spot since i put it above him. his temps in the center of his tank is 80 below the red light i assume would be more but he isnt directly under it, his humidity is reading 80% i believe the tank inside vivi is doing a GREAT job as there is air all around him that can stay warm cuz the front plexi is closed.
air is the best insolation. (heard that on discovery channel!)

tomarrow i hope i dont scare him while i am trying to feed him. do you think, if he doesnt eat solid food, should i give him the flukers emergency care (with b12) to hydrate him and give him energy? or should i give him a day off to cool down.
taking the lights off the top then opening the top screen may scare him enough to not eat too. oh bother.
