I keep all my Shinglebacks in an outdoor enclosure.
I will try and find some pics.
It is very large, heavily planted and 'natural', with lots of hollow logs etc.
I do have some cement pavers in there which absorb lots of heat and they all love basking on them.
They are pretty much able to live exactly as they would in the wild.
I only supplement their feeding as they seem to find plenty of food in their enclosure.... dandelions, snails, insects etc.

Here's one...



Lizardman is that pine shavings you have in there? Just a tip... Shingles don't seem to like that stuff as it is quite dusty and seems to cause respiratory probs. Beeter off with litter or clean reptile sand (like the desert sand).
They also really like to have somewhere to hide....

Pine shavings are fine I've used them for years. Whats the height of your enclosure? you may need to place a platform under your basking light to bring the critter closer to the uv source.
