Hello all. I am fairly new to the Tegu game, but not reptiles. I just got my first Blue a few days ago, he is about 16inches long, maybe 3 months old. He has eaten some scrambled eggs, and a few superworms so far. My question is should I bring him out of his hide to feed him everyday, or just wait until he makes an appearance on his own then feed him? He really is very mellow and handles very well, but usually we get him out of his hide to handle him. How do I know when he is heading towards brumation?
I had a Red 2 years ago that i think went into brumation. I never could get him to eat after that and he eventually died. I even at a vet's advice started tube feeding him carnivore protein blend. I really don't want that to happen again. Any advice would be appreciated.
