Hi everyone.
I have a question about if I should hibernate my DT or not this year?
Refresher note:
I found Squirt in a box in a closet in a house that we were cleaning out. I brought him home and he is in a very large glass tank that used to house a 3 foot Tegu Lizard. I have the lights and heat on him and the air shuts off in the day while we are at work and he has the coconut/sand mixture in there. He has a water dish and food dish and a hide he 'kinda' dug out himself. I slanted a cat litter box (never used) and buried it inside and on top and he did the decorating himself, LOL. He goes out for supervised walks in the backyard and eats up the weeds and grass now until I can construct a pen for him because of my dog and all the oleander bushes I have. His pen will be constructed this fall/winter so it will be ready for Spring. His measured his carpace the other day and he is 4 inches.
Now with all this that has happened and maybe being he is just a young'en, should I hibernate him this year or wait until next year?
Thanks everyone.
