ive had my female tegu for around 2-3 years, and loved her dearly, i found she wouldnt eat anything apart from mice or chicks since the day i bought her at around 14 months old,
i did try her on different foods but she turned them all down , i didnt want to startve her due to this so kept to the her known foods,
due to hibernation season ive made sure she or the other he tegu never ate nothing at all, i noticed 4 days ago she was out her hide and resting her head at the glass with her eyes shut, that day i saw her she did open them up when i came into the garage to see what i was doing, so she seemed fine then, the next day i checked on her and she was in the same postion, first i assumed she was resting as they can do for days and weeks, but today ...the 4th day i decided to actually get her out and check to see if shes fine,
i touched her and she was stone cold......she was stuck in the postition i saw her in the first day with the water bowl, i was very upset as to why or how she died......im still puzzled now. truely upset i couyldnt leave her there so i burried her in my front garden this afternoon. she was around 3-1/2 ft long and was truelly amazing and very tame. she will definatly be sadly missed and remembered dearly.
