Hey all,
I just got my first tegu in July. She (according to the guy at my local pet store) is an argentine black and white. She was good for about a month and a half. She'd be out digging and eating pretty normally.
I had her in a 30 gallon in my room. I use air conditioning and i think the humidity stayed too low for two long because i believe she started to hibernate in august.
Its been three months and she still never comes out except once every like 3 to four weeks and i try to catch her for those few hours and feed her. She's only eaten like 2 or three times since august and it shows because she hasnt grown and is still very tiny.
End of august i moved her to a big tank and put her in her own room and now keep it nice and warm and mist her tank once a day. she still went back into hiding/sleeping and has continued until now. i woke her up and took her to the vet mid september and he checked her out and said she seemed healthy but im still very worried.
Is it bad that she is never out?
If she is hibernating is it bad that she is doing it this young?
Is it possible that she hibernates too long and wont make it?
Please any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. I would love to see her grow and be healthy.
