My grandson bought an Argentine tegu yesterday. He also bought a really big aquarium for a temporary habitat, because he's going to build it a cage outside. I don't know anything about tegus, but seems to me coming from Argentina that they shouldn't get that cold??? We have freezing almost every night in the winter. He says they dig down and hibernate. I printed him a care sheet, but it didn't mention hibernating. He has what amounts to a Commodore 64 (just kidding, of course, but its dial-up and takes forever to look at anything), and isn't online much, so I can't refer him to the new (to us) Tegu forum. Can anyone point me to a good care sheet that I can print out for him?
