He's probably slowing down for hibernation. Is he sleeping more than usual? Spending more time in his hide? Has he taken a crap yet?

yeah i had him in his 30 gal feeder so its not impaction and i dont want him to hibernate because i have no thoughts of breeding him but i guess i should let him. yeah he occasionally is basking and then goes to his one of his 2 hides. he also i keep finding crap in his cage

Well then I highly doubt that he's sick. If he wants to hibernate, then he's going to without anybody stopping him. I guess we'll see what happens!

Its just that time of year either your tegu will slow down or hibernate, regardless of what u do they will do what they want, best bet to having a healthy tegu is to take ques from your tegu and act accordingly
