Groo is awake!

[wolfy-hound]

My female red tegu, the infamous Groo!! She came out of hibernation fat and gorgeous. Hasn't lost weight, toes, etc. She needs a good shed to get the old skin off to really brighten her from this pinky/red to her more normal red/red.

Making certain that her hibernation chamber was sufficiently cold seemed to make her "sleep" solidly through a long hibernation, without waking during the time, and she emerged without obviously losing any weight! I took her outside for a good sunning and some pictures.

Yep, Groo woke up a few days ago, and I gave her a quick bath before the picture. Thank you guys! I do adore her. She should be about 3 years old now. One day I'll get her another boyfriend.

Another BF? D'oh! What happened to the other BF?

Gracie, my big gorgeous male, was poisoned and died. You must have missed that way back when it happened.

good looking red! how long was she down for?

[wolfy-hound]

I think nearly 6 months.. I forgot exactly when she went down. I have to look it up, and that involves signing into a blog that argues with me about what my username and such is.
She's been down a LOT longer than previous years.. but it stayed nicely cold most of the time, instead of me trying to keep the temps lower with an AC running.
