I dont know uch about hibernation in tegus, i keep blue tegus so i get to skip that. From what i've read though, 60 degrees should be fine, don't put him the the furnice room if it gets below 50 then your jerpordising your tegu. As for heat leave it on for another week or two and still offer a bowl of fresh water. Once your sure his gone down for the winter don't both misting the cage and right now doin't worry about chaning out the bedding, it'll only both him.

As for a tegu mash, a bulk of the diet should be fresh foods or whole food product ie incects, mice, rats and chicks. Complete diets are easy for humans to give but not the best thing for tegus. I know some people use a blend of lean ground turkey, fresh fruits and supplments as part of thier weekly food schedual but ontop of that they use mice, fresh fruits, supper worms... and so on and so forth.
