If I woke my red tegu up after 3 months hibernating, what's her chances of being reproductively viable later in life? She's still a hatchling pretty much

Would she still be able to breed?

Never mind, my little Dixie has passed away :'(
Sorry for your loss.
But to answer your question for others that may be wondering, an interupted or completely negated hibernation season is not going to harm your tegu with respect to future reproductive viability. This was a myth started by Bobby Hill and is based on NOTHING but his wild imagination. It may disrupt the following breeding season, but proper conditioning will ensure that hormonal cycling takes place and your tegu should be fine for breeding (assuming nothing else is wrong).
