I figured as much, thats sad.

Your animal has not hibernated, it needs to see a vet, however, it might have just not been fed.

did you measure him yet? cause I mean I hate to say it but if its really 10 inches and 9 MONTHS, that has to be close to death honestly...id like to know how skinny the tail is and how wide the tegu is, it has to be longer than 10 inches I just cant picture this, nor do I want to thats very sad...and for $300 thats absurd id go back to that shop immediately

how long is thier hybernation period
thats what im saying, blues are known to NOT hibernate...Davedragon has a few and they breed without hibernating so blues might not need it at all...others hibernate up to 7 months of the year(Bobby's)...but again yours isnt hibernating especially at a petstore...its STARVING though for sure i can tell you that. That angers me about this store...

They don't hibernate, that's the problem. And the history that I know of is not good.
