is he new? sometimes, they just need to get used to their new cage. if not , either the temps not right or the humidity (?) is not right. Anyone correct me if i'm wrong, but when my uro (don't have a tegu yet) start hiding all day and night, its either too hot or too cold. Something like that.

I have had him for 2 months now and is well used to me as for temps they were too high but I have corrected that as far as humidity goes its pretty much a constant 70%(I havnt even needed to spray his viv for a few days)Temps are as follows:Basking:Highest is 105F Ambient/Background:highest 85F Nighttime drop:lowest 76F Im not really worried I just find it strange??

Mine did that before. Last time he did that he didnt come out for 3 days then I reliezed he was shedding and he came out so I gave him a bath and helped him shed the rest off. He mighta came out when you werent around either. Sometimes my tegu will only come out for a short period and then go back in his burrow.

He has been alot more active today flying around his viv and basking couldnt find any shed skin so I dont think it was that he looks very fat!!! :-D
