Well, your basking temps are a bit low. They should be between 120-130.
What kind of basking light and UVB bulb are you using? I strongly suggest a Mercury Vapor bulb for both. The Mercury Vapor would provide heat and the best UVB on the market. I know that people say that uros don't need uvb, but they do clearly like it.
Just as an example, I recently broke one of my MVBs and another burned out, so I put a similarly rated incandescent bulb over both vivs, and the usual temps were maintained. My uro and desert iguanas, all of whom are usually out for most of the day, refused to come out of their caves until the new Megarays came in. Here are the Mercury Vapor bubs that I recommend:
Megaray www.reptileuv.com
T Rex Active UV (reptile supply outlets)
Solar Glo Mercury Vapor (reptile supply outlets)
There are also certain uvb bulbs on the market now that hurt their eyes.
