Normally around 105 and top end 110 degrees, I am sure in nature they are on ground hotter, but I think you shold consider taking them into the garage set up daytime lighting tomeet normal specifications with am ambiebt temp of 85-90 degrees and then also leave a small dark blue light on at night so it takes any chill off the cage and see if they don't come back and eat better. It may take a day or so for them to adjust. I assume you have UVB for your animals? Are you using home depot sand for substrate or equivelant? ALso be sure the light intensity in the cage is good. If it's not real bright, use a regular incandescent 60 wat bulb if this is a large cage or even a second one if necessary as light intensity is very important but be considerate of the heat range as well, to desert lizards and just having heat is not enough, you also need light.........Cheers.
