What are optimal temps for a young tegu?

What if i opened a window and put up a reflector to delfect the sun into the enclosure? and this would only be for a week or two. i do have calcium and vitamin supplements.

No, quit trying to get around properly providing for your pet. If you can't/won't do it right, just don't do it.

Idk if uvb/uva can be reflected, calcium and vitamin shouldn't be needed if your feeding your tegu a variety of nutritious foods but if you do use calcium make sure it doesn't have d3 in it, d3 can only be produced by uvb!!

This will not be appropriate, and without proper heat within the designated range, your Tegu will not even be able to digest its food.
You had better figure something out or you are going to have a sick or dead Tegu.

No. It should be around 110-115 for the max in the basking area. Ideally these would be accompanied along with a temperature gradient around the lower 100's. Again, these are all for basking, and as such are surface temps, not ambient temps.
