Hello all, I'm hoping to have a juvie whitethroat monitor arriving soon and I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to critique my setup. Please keep in mind this tank will last all of 4 months if I'm lucky and will only house the baby until I get a larger enclosure finished for the ginormous sub-adult it's going to turn into. Little buggers grow quick!

So anyway, basking spot is ~ 140 (too hot?) using a 75w bulb.
Humidity is ~ 50%
ambiant is ~ 90 warm side, 80 cool side with 72 being the coolest spot in the tank. There is a ceramic heat emitter 1/3 of the way through the tank to keep the ambient up at night.

The stacks of rocks are well secured and 4 levels deep on both sides. The dirt is the stuff I get out of my backyard, it actually packs and holds shape well.

Terrible phone pics ahoy!
