Ok, thanks guys. I'm not sure if he comes out at all, I just know that when he's up, he smashes the heck out of crickets, unlike the first 5 months of his hibernation, when I offered him ground turkey and he didn't take anything. I figured he was ready if he knew to eat. I wake him up from his...
What should I do? I have woke him up before, then he pounds crickets then goes right back under.
I have heard from people to not disturb them in "hibernation" but honestly at this point im not sure what to do...
I have his light cycle up to 12 hours now and he is still not coming out.
Help...
Hey everyone,
this is my first year (and my tegu's first year) of hibernation. He has been under off and on since November. He is still not up yet. I have now cranked up the heat and I have a 12 hour light cycle and a humidifier pumping fog inside the cage to get him out. What else can I be...
I'm not home, I'll post a pic tomorrow.
Basically when all of his toes (on his front left leg) are pointing down, this one (his middle finger) is pointing up and has a significant bend in it. It is definitely broken.
When I first got him (September), I dropped him on the ground because he...
150 gallon aquarium (not custom)
Mulch...i think it's called cypress mulch but not 100% sure...
temperature is now about 70 degrees everywhere because he's in hibernation and I haven't had the light on at all.
what do i do? i have been spraying him with water once a week or so, but should I be doing more? I also have a humidity problem in the cage.. not sure how to help it.
Hey everyone,
My Red Tegu is getting very sluggish the few times that I have seen him in the past few months, and now I think he's hibernating. This is my first year with a tegu.
What should I be doing to ensure a healthy brumation? Right now he has a 120W basking light on 12 hours, timer from...
Thanks for your response, guys, I appreciate it.
This morning, I woke up and he poked his head out of the mulch lol. So I guess he just didn't want to come out for a week. Odd, huh?
Sometimes I don't know whether I should bother him to wake him up to eat and get his nutrients.
***Also, how...
What do I do if this is the case? About a week ago, my tegu has been burrowed so I'm not sure if he's hibernating or not. How do I know if he's hibernating or just sleeping for long periods of time?
Thanks for the quick response. But how do I know he's going down for 100% sure? What if I should be feeding him now and he's starving himself instead? Should I go in there and bother him at all or just leave him be?
Hey guys/girls, I was hoping you could help me out. My 6 month Red Tegu has been burrowed for the past 8 days or so, and I'm not sure if I should wake him up for some ground turkey or anything. I can't tell if he's burrowing to hibernate or just to burrow, but I feel like he's not getting the...
Hey everyone, I have a question.
I have heard conflicting stories as to how to best tame my 4-5 month old Red Tegu.
I have only had her for about 3 weeks, she eats out of my hand and is very calm outside of her cage. But getting her out is sometimes tough- never any biting but just quick...
