Slayer has been hibernating for close to 2 months now and I have him in a tupperware container in a closet at 50 to 55 degrees.
I check him and the temp everyday and never seen him but today I was looking for something and I noticed him walking around in the container but he was walking like he was drunk.As he walked he shook and wobbled and looked like he was trying to stick his tongue out but it wouldn't come all the way out.I am assuming he is trying to wake up?
I never hibernated a Tegu so have no clue what they act like when they wake up.
Plus I am wondering why he woke up after only two months.
I just want to know what to do with him?
Do I let him warm up and back in his cage or see if he'll go back to sleep?

I am happy to see him but want to do the right thing.
Here is his first pic since he woke up.

That is normal, he is acting sluggish. He will go back to sleep if you let him, if you feed him make sure you put some heat on him.

I put him back so he can go to sleep.As much as I would love to have a visit with him,I want him to be doing what Mother Nature intends.
