You definitely need to get rid of the aspen asap. Like stated above it needs a few feet of dirt really. If you cant do that at least give it a few inches of cypress mulch or dirt. It holds more moisture than aspen. Also in my experience with aspen it molds terribly when it get wet if there isnt enough ventilation.
If you could post a pic of the cage I believe it would really help us help you. When you say 75w bulb is it a halogen? incandescent? What kind of bulb? For smaller monitors I am usually able to get 130 basking temps with 1 or 2 50w flood bulbs. You just need to use an elevated basking spot. This allows you to get the basking temps you want without overheating the entire cage in the process. It is very important to be able to get exact temp measurements. I would recommend going to radioshack and getting a temp gun. They are pretty cheap. Or order one from proexotics.
