I purchased my tegu last September as a baby and since she has grown to be 27 inches. She used to grow like a weed and she would shed a lot due to her growing. She kind of went into hibernation on her own without me shutting off her lights (I didn't know to hibernate her)... anyways she has picked up on her food intake like crazy compared to her hibernation days when she didnt want food so much. She eats almost everything but doesnt poop. When she doesnt poop for like a week I will soak her in warm water and she will go right away. I will feed her for another week and again she will not go for awhile...is this normal? Also she seems to be out of hibernation for close to a month now and she hasnt shedded yet...Is the normal for tegus? ...maybe this is something they do right out of hibernation..? Please let me know if you know anything about this!

Thanks In Advance
