this may not how to do it exactly however it did work for me, so here it goes. I have a 75 watt flood ligt posistioned over the left end of the enclosure, with a heavy log going from the bottom to the top so my bt could get close-far whatever he needed as far as the heat, the temps at the basking site were 125 in the highest part to 85 at the lowest, underneath that log i had a hide spot. On the other end of the tank i had another hide spot with a heat pad on the bottom to provide heat in the colder months, here in baltimore that is from oct-april, i put the water basin smack dab in the middle, whatever enclosure i have no matter what size i use this set up, and it seems to be working great for my bt's, wt's, argus flavi's,sav's, and B&W tegus. All of the cages are different size because some of them are still small juveniles, but i have it set up the same way for my adult WT's and they are in a 6'deep by 4' high and 4' wide cage. once again there is no text book definition of set ups for these animals, it is just what i found to work for mine. Oh yeah, im using screentops for most too, with the spotlight on top, never had any problems. good luck
