Hi,
first, I would recommend leaving the heat/light on 24/7 for the time being, obviously, make sure there are cooler/dark places to retreat to.
Basking (surface) temp between approx 50 to 60c (120 to 140f), humidity range between approx 50 to 70% (it might be slightly lower around the basking area, slightly higher in the hides, that`s perfectly acceptable)...
Offer food anytime, once the monitor`s hydrated and heated,he/she will function efficiently..
Can you put a couple of photos up (enclosure and animal)?
I wish you and the monitor all the best, and don`t stop asking questions!
