A brand new reptisun5.0 produces enough uvb for your lizard at no further than 12". in your cage that would work fine but i would use a 50wt. spot basking light off to one side. I think diurnal lizards associate heat with bright light so a white directional bulb works great. maybe put newspaper on the outside of 3 sides of his cage so he doesnt rub as much while he settles in. Imports come in brown but if they are set up right they shed the brown right away and stay green. good luck!
