B&W Argentine Tegu Brumation?

[xxKalixx]

Hi everyone!

In the next year I am hoping to have a Tegu. I'm an avid researcher, but I have one question that is a bit confusing for me. Brumation! Do all B&W Argentines go through this? Or do some just slow down? If my Tegu is going to go into brumation, how do I go about that? Stop feeding it for a week, or two...? Cool down the temp a bit? Mist daily? And let nature take its course? What if he/she just slows down and not go into hibernation?

You'll have to let the tegu do as it feels - more or less. You'll notice a difference in the behavior and eating and sleeping patterns. It might help to keep a diary of feeding schedules and such so it's easier to recognize the pattern.
Others will be able to chime in on what their Argentines do
