Of course I can help!

Learn to read your lizards, start with a simple observation technique.
Watch your lizards when they are sleeping, you want to look at the rhythm of there inflating thorax , this tells you about there metabolism.
nighttimes should be slow and relaxed.

Then watch this in daytime, you should see a significant increase, a faster rhythm= faster metabolism. if not then your lizard needs a wormer gradient.

A simple way to see witch temps gets them pumping, hang a 65w flood in your tank, switch it on and let the temps go up in the low 90s, you should see your lizards hart rate increase as they heat up, take temperature readings at this point, you now have an approximate thermal preference.

All you need to do now is adjust your set up.

In some of my cages a 65w flood goes on 1h at noon every day, this really gets the fuzzy eaters going.
