Extra Antsy

[Aardbark]

The past few days, my red Gu has been acting extra antsy. I know some people discribe their gus as being lazy and loafing around, but mine right now is running all over the place. Shes digging the hell out of her cage, throwing mulch everywhere. If I take her out, she runs amok all over the place. She wont stay still, in her cage, my hands or anywhere else.

So whats going on? Its like she is in heat or something, lol.

What are you using to check and keep track of your temps and humidity? How much and how often are you feeding her? Also she could be trying to settle in and find a suitable place to hibernate.

The temps are 80 cold, 100 warm. Humidity usualy around 50% Shes fed once a day, various different foods.

I managed to raise the humidity up to 80% with two misters.

I dont think she is getting ready to hybernate, she is very active and still eats a ton of food day to day. She has taken up to digging the hell out of her cage, throwing dirt everywhere. She seems to be looking for something, but I dont know what it is she is looking for.

Vanilla was like this for a while and still is when I let her out of the cage, she wants to escape pretty much and is a spaz out of her encosure, eli is exactly how your red is, rips decorations down buries the water dish throws substrate everywhere and is never slow really lol there is nothing wrong with an active tegu who knows what he/she is up too lol I know both of mine are way better about not tearing things apart if they are fed early, I assume mines do it cause they are hungry and throwing a fit
