My extreme giant has been completely down for about two weeks now. It's kind of sad, lol, I just got him in July...he gorged for a while and got quite chunky, and then it was snooze time! Who else has hibernating tegus now?

My red appears to be slowing down and getting ready to. Very little appetite, not active for more than 1-3 hours per day. He is only a few months old and I haven't had him a month yet so I have no clue :)

I just picked up my guy yesterday, and thought he was just extra tame. But now I'm wondering if he's just on his way down to hibernate. *shrug* we shall see. first feeding today!

Boon has been off and on napping for almost 2 months now. I've seen him twice in the last couple weeks. Both times he's taken a few bites of liver/turkey, basked a bit, then gone back under.

Quick question guys... my tegu is still active and eating well. It's his first winter and I do intent to hibernate him. Should I adjust his temperature or cut back on the feedings? Or will he slow down by himself?

My red has been out for close to a month now and Alice my black and white has been off and on for the past two weeks. She will come out and bask for a couple hours then go back into the "burrow".

it's funny, I have not seen mine in a while. I just got used to seeing my lil' colombians running all around. just this week, I walked into the living room and was so shocked. I saw this really large lizard walking on the floor.

at first, I had to step back. it's been a good while since I saw him. when you don't see them for a while the size becomes really impressive.

Hey, My boy is now hibernating, but I have to relocate his enclosure. Is it bad if during this process he is awakened from hibernation? Could it make him nasty or have some kind of detrimental effect on him?
