His UBV and basking light should be on 12-14 hours a day. If you put his lights on a standard household timer, it's real easy to get those hours consistent.

Ideal temps are 110* on the basking spot, and 85 at the cool end (assuming we're talking about a baby or juvie.) Adults prefer the basking temp to be just a bit lower, around 100-105 with the same cool end temp.

So how's he doing?
