Here in the panhandle of Florida I have observed many BHS as they are, besides anolesand race-runners, the most frequently seen lizard around. All take shelter in trees so I would guess for a BHS setup a tall cage with climing branches and lots of crickets to feed on would be good. A basking lamp of course is also needed.
I kept a large one a while back and it always pigged out on crickets with no problem.
They seem to prefer a vertical structure that has a gap they can squeeze into, whether to hide or sleep for the night.
