Air temperatures on the hot side should be 120 degrees Fahrenheit and surface temperatures on the hot side should be about 140. The cool side should be about 90 degrees, and ambient temps can go down to 80 at night. You need a cage large enough to have such a gradient in (probably has to be custom built). These guys need very intense UVB light from a very expensive bulb (160 watt Mercury vapor bulbs made specially for reptiles). In their native habitat, you get terrible sunburns in the shade. Humidity should be kept to a minimum. In fact, many breeders of uros don't even have water dishes. They give them water through the plant matter that should make up about 95% of their diet (should not include any type of lettuce).
