ok so maybe i am bored or maybe its the pain medication lol but im curious as to who's tegu did not hibernate this past winter? i ask because im kinda baffled over my tegu nero who i got on 8/11/2009 from bobby @ 5 wks old. she never showed any inteest in hibernating despite my efforts to try to induce her, whats even more weird is i live in chicago and winter is very cold here and some days it got into the high 50's - low 60's in my reptile room and none of this ever effeted her. not only did she not hibernate she didnt brumate either she was up basking and eating everyday, so naturally she grew very big and very fast! i tried manipulating her lighting but that just threw her off and she was waking up in the evening and staying up until like 1-2 am. so for those of you who tegu didnt hibernate, did you change anything in your husbandry, and your tegu just decided to stay up or just brumate? even achilles who came in mid decemer decided he/she wasnt going to hibernate anymore and only stayed under for 2 wks! whats going on lol? im really hoping that pyro and the two 10' tegus go under this winter other wise imma be in big trouble lol!
nero @ 5 wks
nero @ 5 1/2 mo.
nero now (10 days away from 1 y/o)
