Hey guys, it seems that even nature itself has given me another reason to worry. Since I live in the Long Island area, power has been out for 3 days. The tegu's terrarium was sitting at 65 degrees, and decided to sleep through the hurricane. I think he was starting to hibernate, or brumate (don't really know the difference, sorry), but fortunately after 3 days my boyfriend's boss at Petco was kind enough to keep the tegu at her house. She even decided to take him to the store's vet, since the local ones here decided to shut down for a week. He still has his respiratory problem, and she told me that he is a little bloated. Although I am very thankful, I am now more worried than ever. I hate being the bearer of bad news, but I hope he's sturdy enough to handle all this stress I've been inadvertently placing on him.
Hoping for the best.
