Who is waking up and when.

[thomasjg23]

Hello all, I thought it might be fun if we kept track of who is waking up when,

1.) What kind of tegu.
2.) How old they are.
3.) When they dug in for the winter.
4.) When they woke up/ wake up.

Kinda something to do while we are without our little ones.

Spyro is an Argentine Red, this is his first winter, he went under late November, and I cant wait for him to come out!

Keep it going!

'08 Arg B&W...

Went to sleep in late Oct '08 ~ came out April '09...

Went to sleep in early Dec '09 ~ came out late Jan '10

The '10~'11 winter he has dissappeared for up to 2 weeks a few times, but hasn't "hibernated" per se.

Both winters when he was awake, he was very lazy in comparison to his summer time activity levels.

FYI - I have never "tried" to make him hibernate nor wake up. I simply let him do what he wants to do and try to provide the conditions that support his behaviors.
