Hello ladies and gentelmen

So im a bit concern but maybe it's just me, for the last 3weeks my tegu has been up all night and underground all day is he getting uvb?? No right? Should I leave the uvb on all night ?

I feed him a mixture of hornworms,waxworms, crickets , and mealworms (mainly hornworms and waxworms ) if nutrition may some how be an issue his basking spot is 115 in the day 97+ at night and humidity is 65 on a bad day 78 on a good one , any suggestions ? Or am I just over thinking here

Also!! Here and then he is up for about 2 hours in the day

He must have a cool spot as well like 75-80. Keep uv on 12-14 hrs each day during summer.

His cool spot usually never goes any further than 80, but still my concern is that is he getting proper uv if not out during the day?
