So I just purchased my first Tegu after doing a ton of research and talking to people who have Argentine Tegus of their own. I have had him for about three weeks, but I am a bit concerned that he is dehydrated...I have never seen him drink water from his bowl, he is sleeping more than ususal, his eyes also look a tad bit sunk in, but he is still eating like a champ and is otherwise acting fine. If he is mildly dehydrated, will soaking him in warm baths every day help him re-hydrate like other reptiles? I am so worried about doing this wrong and this looks like the best place to ask questions...

Yes it should help. You should be bathing him almost every day anyways.

What kind of stuff are you feeding him? Bathing him will help. Is he eating food that will help hydrate him? How do his feces look?
