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.
