Forgot to mention, If you would close half the vents, you wouldn't loose so much heat and probably get away with 150w

Sounds ok then, it must be a very large enclosure, not that there is any thing wrong with it!
Also don't forget it must be a lot hotter under the actual basking spot.

I think 200w is a bit of overkill!
I know you have a thermostat, but still!
What’s the temp on the other end of the enclosure?

You don't have to cool your Diamond the first year if you don't want to.
A lot of people do, and a lot don't.
It is definitely a must every year after that!

Change your 100 watt to a 60 watt, that would be plenty in that size enclosure.
