I suggest a 200 watt basking i have the same size cage and i had a 150 basking and the other side of the cage took 3 hrs to get to 73 degrees i could not keep the temps up i ran my setup for a week before i got my tegu just to monitor my temps and humidity the basking bulb raises overall temps in the cage and with a 100 watt basking you will not get 110 degrees basking spot either unless you have it like 6 inches from the ground. i put a digital thermo under my basking spot and in each side of the cage and could not get the proper heat on the 150
