tupinambis...hibernation question
I wanted to get some expert advice about my hatchling that has been hibernating since Oct.
He went down at a small, but healthy size. I was concerned about him and checked on him in Dec/Jan and found him to be really dehydrated. He drank some water and went back to sleep. Now I'm really worried about him and check on him every couple of weeks to make sure he looks OK. I turned on his light recently to try and encourage some activity.
He is inside, next to a full sized window. The temps range from 78high to 68-74 low and nightime. Humidity has been fair at about 40-50%. Should I be concerned, or just wait patiently? Should I keep the lights off?
Thanks, it has been a while since I had a little guy sleeping.
