The cage is rather large, I believe its about 48" x 14" x 18". The tegu itself, an argentine B& W, is probably just over a foot long.

I'm using a 15w 5.0 UV light. It's about 15" from the ground (I know, a few too far). When he's climbing on things, he's probably about 12" from it.

The temps get arond 110-120 in the absolute hottest point, and most of his basking area is in the low 100's. His cooler side stays around 80. He's frequently changing spots and rarely in his hide, so I think he's thermoregulating pretty well.

As far as humidity goes, I have yet to get a device to measure it. Irrisponsible, I know. I mist the cage two or three times a day. His last shed was very quick and clean, hopefully a good indication of his humidity.

I'm using a standard reptile cricket dust. I'll get back to you on the brand and ingredients later, although I haven't been giving him too many crickets lately, mostly fuzzy/hopper size mice.

My main concerns would be the humidity being off, and his consumption of greens and other non-meaty foods. I'm doing my best to get him eating non-moving food, and so far, he's taken a bite of some fruit and not much else.

Thanks.
