Is it time?

[Jessicak]

I got my tegu around the end of September and he has just been sleeping since I got him. Sometimes he comes out on his own every couple of days. I was just wondering if it was normal time for them to slow down, it just seems kind of early

No, that's about right. Especially in northern climes it starts earlier. Daylength and temp. Mine have about shut down and after one more week when I'm sure they're empty, I'll keep them cold for the winter with occasional checks and offer water.

Do we have to keep them cold?
