Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

My red tegu has a rubbermaid tote(with lid attached) that I cut a door in one end. I put that at one end of her enclosure, and then put all the substrate in. So the 'den' is at the bottom and she has to go down into it from on top of the substrate. This way it stays slightly chillier than the rest of the cage(the floor conducts a chill from underneath). So she's in her regular enclosure with access to a hide to hibernate in. She chooses when to go in, pushes a ton of substrate up against the 'door' to close it up and I don't see her for months. At this point I just make sure the water dish has good water in it, in case she wakes up and wants a drink(they might pop out to stagger around and then go back to sleep). I don't run her basking bulbs or anything since she's sleeping and won't be using them.
If your tegu comes in and is awake, I would just offer the hide box in the regular enclosure. If he chooses to go bury up, shut the heat down and let him sleep. If he doesn't go sleep, then run the enclosure as normal.
I'm unsure whether he'll go back to sleep after hibernating then being woken up and shipped. I guess you'll have to play that by ear. Good luck!
