hibernation questions?

Hello everyone
I'm new to the tegu world and have only had my baby girl for a month. Everything is great with her, eating great, regular bowel movements, very active. She has been coming out between nine and ten every morning since I got her on July 2nd. She would bask for a while walk around her enclosure for a while and then just lay out and relax. She went to bed every night at exactly six thirty every night. For the past five days she has been getting up later in the morning between ten thirty and eleven thirty and is back asleep by 4 or 5 pm at the latest. Everything else is the same. Eating and temperature in the enclosure and humidity. Is this a sign she might be getting ready for hibernation ? Is there anything I should be worried about? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hey Eric!
Is she captive bred? How old? Are your temps high enough?
I doubt she's going into hibernation right now though her clock may be off... I suppose. Are you keeping track of her weight and eating habits? Have they changed at all?

Captive bred, temps are 79 cool side 87 hot and 115 in the basking spot. Eating great. She is a month to 2 months old. Everything has turned back to normal after a few days of her weird change in sleeping habits and she is out on normal schedule again. Thanks for the reply
