I'm no expert on savs but I think there are a few adjustments to make to that stack. I don't see savs as the type to actively climb to the top of that stack and bask. I would get the soil deep enough to where you could bury that whole stack, except the top layer. Bring the lights down close to the substrate, within a few inches (6-7" so that the temps will be hot enough to be at basking 150ish on surface. Heat will then get underground in the stack (where the lizard likely wants to be). I wouldn't use the black topsoil that comes in bags either. Digs some or go to a landscape yard and get some dirt. Think of the african savanna, google pictures. that is were they live, flat land, underground. Again I have never owned a sav, but like FR said, most monitors have the same basic needs. Savs in particular live underground most of the time. They want to be warm and hidden at the same time.
