You could use anything you want and have a healthy lizard, it all depends on how you manipulate the conditions in the cage. Alot of dirt provides a huge range of humidity conditions and requires less regulation than just a little dirt. Alittle dirt means more watching your levels and more hides being supplied and what not where as alot of dirt gives alot of options.



Of course there is nesting but that is not of your concern, either way alot of dirt is simply easier, you have more than enough space in a 75 gallon tank to provide 6-12 inches.



Also ditch the screen top completely, not just halfway and open it less to start with untill set up correctly, dont start with it half open (half screened) on the top and work from there, its kinda like starting in the middle and working left or right, start at the left (full cover) or the right (all screen) and work toward the middle instead....but in this case...start at the left....hope that made sense...haha.



Cheers,

Mike.
