Here is how I have Helios' enclosure set up. It's a 75 gallon (4 x 1.5 ft). This Summer/Fall I'll have his custom build 5x2x2 ft enclosure done.
It's slate tile flooring. With 2 cinderblock hides. It also has driftwood that I personally found at the local river, power washed and sanded.
Look at the size difference in the 2 pictures wow. He's so much bigger now.
Since the room he is in, is always a constant 70-75 degrees, I don't need to adjust his heat, since his basking spot is always 105 F. I had to make the lid cat proof haha. The fixture itself isn't screwed down. I just put 4 screws around it, to prevent it from moving. I cut a hole, barely smaller than the dome of the fixture, so the lights directly hit him. I use a Repti-Sun 10.0 in the 48" fixture.
