Perhaps a picture of a basking area with two UVB tubes on the side wall would solve all the problems here. Any one has a picture? It's hard to visualize with just words sometimes.

Rehab, is the UVB bulb directly over the basking spot and 6-8" from the basking spot? If not, your tegu isn't really getting any beneficial UVB from the bulbs.
