Let it get as hot as it wants to. 105F is nothing to worry about. Mine has a high cage so it has a piece of driftwood that goes from the floor to the top directly under the light. This gives it an option of choosing it's desired temp. It's all about letting the lizard control how warm it is.
As far as eating, you mention putting the crickets in the salad. Are they alive? Also, if you have access to them, few plant eating lizards will refuse dandelion blossoms. But, like you said, it was only the first day.
