Gurus slowed down quite a bit. He's only been eating 2x a week for the last month or so. He's only coming out for a couple hours and then hes back in his man cave for the rest of the night.

Offer him food daily until you know he's not eating. Leave fresh water everyday nomatter what. Bobby says to keep the light on until he doesn't come out anymore. Please, see varnyards threads on this site for care. Bobby knows best. 30 years of tegus says something.
