Welcome to the site,.. congrats on the new gu take some time to look through the threads in our tegu article section,.. there's alot of need to know info over there. For now it's just settling in so give it time too,.. it's too soon to tell if it's going to hibernate or not.

Hmmm whoever told you it was eight months old may be embellishing quite a bit if she's only a foot long. My b&w is three months and just broke two feet. Which is good news, cause you get to see the insane growth rates in action!
