Is something wrong with my Tegu?

[Demonic0Sniper]

Hello I own 2 gold tegus on of them hides under the dirt all day ( im ok with)
But the other one sleeps in his water dish all day. and I move him out when
I wake up and go to bed but he goes back to the water dish after about an hour
of me moving him. Is something wrong with him? is this normal behavior?

It sounds like they may be to warm. What is the temp your running and do they have a cooler side in there enclosure?

75 is good for the cool end,ramp up the temp on the hot end to 100 degrees. humidity should be 70-80 percent on the cool side and 100 percent in the substrate. they may be trying to get to more humid spots.but if your humidity is close to that then that could just be there personality. The best suggestion I can give is if your concerned get them checked out to be on the safe side. hope it helps!

I have a black and white Colombian and she stays under water for a long time too when she feels like it.
