The tegus are waking up!

[nat]

My female woke up today! So stoked! Pics a little later unfortunately but I needed to share the excitement. I am actually double excited because I was hoping to have her pen built by the time she woke up but this didn't happen due to a health issue that arose suddenly these past couple of weeks... so I was rather stressed about what to do with her once she woke up. A friend of mine called me the other day and just happened to have a 6 by 3 wooden, water sealed pen that they were using as an indoor pond for their RES and could I use it for anything ?? you bet I could! SO I have a temp pen now and my tegu is awake and I am happy and all is well with the world

I dont let my tegu hibernate, he just sleeps alot during the day and comes out in the afternoon to hunt for food.

Well, mine isn't going to be shipped here until the weather across the shipping route (Florida to southern Cali.) gets a little warmer; the shipper is planning on shipping her on tuesday. From what I understand, she is still in hibernation, but I doubt that she will remain so for long once I get her here, because the temps are fairly warm.
So yeah, "my" tegu is still asleep

Mine started to wake up, but now the lows dropped back down in the 30s the last two days. :roll:

Aww that's a real downer!
The seller can't ship my tegu due to the cold weather over there (we are concerned she will get too cold during shipping.)

 

[VARNYARD]

I know, the wait is sometimes a killer!! :roll: Well, you will get it soon enough, better to be safe than sorry.
