I'm just curious if anyone else has a tegu that does this..
It's the middle of April almost and our blue tegu is almost a year old. He has started to slowly come out of brumation but not fully out yet. He never comes out during the day though. He will come out late in the evening or at night while we are sleeping. Not sure if there is a specific reason behind this behavior or if it is common for this to happen? Just want to make sure it's not something in his environment, IE temps, humidity levels or lighting cycles.
The ambient temps are about 73°-75°degrees with a basking spot about 115°. The humidity never drops below 60% and I keep the cage sprayed down 1 to 2 times per day. The lights are on a 12hr cycle with a 3ft UVB/ UVA light. After the the lights shut off for the day it switches to a red basking light that isn't as hot as the day basking light to give him the feel of temps dropping at night. Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated.
