Question

[AnD4]

We have two baby tegus and one seems to always be sleeping and when he does come out he closes his eyes a lot ... We were just concerned and wanted to know if this was normal?

 

[james.w]

Are they housed together? How are you keeping them?

 

[AnD4]

Yes they both are housed together in a 40 gallon cage

 

[james.w]

What type of bulbs? Temps? Humidity? Substrate?

He is probably being submissive to the other one. Separate them and see if it helps.

 

[laurarfl]

It could visual blocking of stress. Separate them as james said.

We have forest moss and some wood chips we also have a UVB light 10.0, 120 volt sun glow, there basking spot is 100 and the ambient I like 80 and we spray twice a day to keep the humidity up... The other one does seem to be a little more dominant, we haven't tried to separate them yet. Could it be that ninja(the one thats closing his eyes) is a girl and dojo(more active one) is a boy?
