Two weeks ago I purchased a 3-yr old male tegu from a guy going into the Air Force. The day I picked him up he was very friendly and I held him on my lap for the 2-hr drive home. I had a big box filled with cypress mulch and a humidifier going near it. He snooped around for a couple of hrs played in the mulch, drank water, and refused his food. I went in 2 check on him that evening and he had crawled into the sleeve of a big winter Parker coat. I put him back in the mulch box and a few hrs later he had crawled back into the coat sleeve. So I left him there and he has been sleeping ever since. I keep the room humidified and the temp around 70. I live in central va so we have the full 4 seasons so I guess he'll come out of hibernation in mar or apr. My ? is, would it be ok to wake him up for a warm soak? How does one wake up a hibernating tegu? I think I've read every website regarding tegu's in hib. but I have not found any info re: this. I would appreciate any advice on this matter.
Thanks so much.
