I use a small fans... 6" that I buy at an electronics store. They are very inexpensive, use very little electricity, and are a snap to install! They also push a lot of air for their size.

I typically cut a hole for each fan in the side of the cage. I then make a frame with wire mesh and cover the hole from the inside of the cage. I then attach the fan on the outside.

I usually try to point the fan at the basking site. It helps to simulate the desert breezes, and I've found that when I do this my chucks will keep themselves inflated more like when they are out in the wild.

BTW, the fans are larger versions of what you would see in a computer. They are in a square black frame. These come in all different sizes, and are really cheap.
