Charmander

[ismessjess]

I’m Jess and I’ve had charmander for a few years she’s so sweet and about 5 months ago she disappeared we thought she got out because because we’re remodeling the house . Well I was getting ready for work the other day and heard something in the kitchen sure enough I see her tail hanging out the cabinet. I have a display case I’m finishing tonight for her but right now she’s extremely skinny and won’t eat and I don’t know what to do and I’m scared that normal lighting might kill her I am so happy to have her back I don’t want to lose her again Please any advice will help

Congratulations on finding her..... I personally think she'll be fine with the lights as alot of tegus hibernate for upto 5 months of the year.... she also may just need a week or so to settle back into routine before eating but i would keep trying her with juicy organ meats, fish or something you know she really likes.
I hope some one can give you more ideas and peace of mind.

Like alpha said as an Argentine and you not hearing her for months she had to of been in brumation asleep. Just give her back her basking spot and slowly introduce food
