Hi guys! I just got my male tegu baby 2 days ago! He is 3 1/2 months old, a little bit overweighted as I could tell from his belly. The previous owner of him said he is moderately active and eats a lot, but ever since he came to my home, he burrowed in his new enclosure immediately and never came out. Yesterday I was a bit concerned and gently dug him out and offered food. He picked 6 super worms to eat and stopped, not drinking anything, went to bask for a while, and burrowed himself again. Basically he was awake for less than 3 hours and went back sleeping. Today he is still sleeping, not moving at all until now, which is 2 pm at my timezone. Is this a sign of him entering brumation? Or it is his way to adjust to the new environment? Should I be worried because he is not active at all and eating little?
For the context, he is living in a 48'' long tank, with the ambient temperature of 75 lower side, 85 higher side, and 105 basking spot. During the night the temperature drops no lower than 70. I used reptile soil mix as substrate, and kept spraying water every 2 hours to keep the humidity around 65~75. UVB is provided to the whole tank.
