: How should I set the lighting up?
One side should be fine especially if you go with a merc vapor bulb. This should help creat a comfortable gradient as well and will allow Jupiter to get out of the basking spot without having to completely cool down.

: If I do go with a RHP, where in the cage should I put it?

For out of the way ease I mounted my 150w on the ceiling of the enclosure. it IS possible to mount it on a wall but there is still the possibility of contact with it - even though RHP's do not produce enough heat for an immediate burn I still play it safe....

: Also, I would like to make a hide box for him.

Wherever Jupiter can get the most privacy is the best place. If that's at the bottom ofthe enclosure fine. If you can construct something for him in the middle great...Entirely dependent on your design.

If you'd rather, contact me directly if you have any more questions, Mike as I nearly forgot about this thread.
