Uv's are ultra violets. Rays of light almost every body needs to create essential vitamins. Also you have to understand if a tegu is in the wild there is always sun on them unless they are burrowed or under something. Thats why its so important to have uv lighting (yes the tube lights, only sold at reptile stores or pet stores) and substrate so they can sleep, feel secure, and regulate the ammount of uv they get.
