I reccomend you get rid of the sand and the bark and replace it with dirt. Look down and find JC's post. Half my sav substrate is plain yard dirt, the other half is what I now call, JC blend.(thanks dude)

I am just guessing here but you have to have some kind of top and I'm assuming it's a screen top. You can cover most of the top with wood or plexiglass, add a couple peices of of wood to hold up the light. I use 45 watt floodlights in small clamp lights I buy at walmart for around $8.

This has worked great for my baby savs in 40 gallon bredders and also works great for my beardies.

I haven't had one explode "yet", I use screen between my lizards and the light. I also think 150 watts is way too much for any aquarium. 45 watts have worked great for me. They make a hot basking spot without cooking the hole tank. Your lizard also needs to be able to cool down as well as heat up.
