I suggest getting hallogen bulbs as they give off more heat with a lower wattage, compared to regular household bulbs.

Again, a picture could help.

But I seen your viv on here with ply wood as the lid with the lights inside the tank Im going to do that tomorrow because I did check the basking light and you cant feel it from where she is. Im also putting in two 26 inch uva/b lights on the hot side with the 150w basking and 100w ceramic on the cool side another 150w basking and a uva/b bulb this should give her what she needs.
