I don't have experience using pig blanket heaters, but most lizard keepers stay away from belly heat. Reptile skin is not as sensitive on the underside to temp changes and a thermal burn could result before the tegu notices it is too hot. If it were me, I would stay with an overhead basking spot (and UV, of course!).
