what the temperature to have when hibernating ? i dont wanna be afraid when he gonna hibernate so ....i read that when its to hot his metabolisme go faster but too cold i imagine its not good too.
smicky, I read that Rick the admin of theTegu forum hibernates his tegus at 65F and the cooler the temps makes them go into hibernation. Rick breeds the tamest tegus. take a look at his website, all those cute little tegus coming to him and walking on him

Make sure the Tegu has clear looking eyes.When he/she is walking it shouldn't have a limp or twitching.With the skin I really don't know but I would look for any cuts so there will not be any infections.I would take him to a reptile vet and get him checked ( like the stool ) for parasites.Hope that helps.
ok thanks i hear also i'll have to look if he put out his tongue often .
( looks like even if i'm a french guy you can understand me , hope it aint hard to understand me )
Bonjour I think you will feel if something is wrong with him. he should be alert, clear eyes, no limps, no lumps, no bumps and all fingers and toes and are very curious.
tho' a quick vet check would be valuable to the both of you
emm its like 5 or 6 month i want mine , before that i didnt know the tegu , and i order im on the first week of march , i have another month max 2 waitin ....each wednesday i hope to get a call of the place i order him ( they receive the list of the available stuff from the breeder each wednesday )
