Are you sure it's the Reptisun 10.0? I've never heard of that one. I used the 5.0 when I used to keep my tegus indoors and it seemed good. Your diet sounds ok. Whole rodents should be the staple diet IMO but all the insects, fruits, etc. that he'll eat will only make him healthier. You didn't mention if you're using any supplements. I use Minerall and Vit-All and have been happy with both.
