I just bought a columbian golden tegu two days ago. He is been hiding for two days straight now. Is that normal. I am worried because I have him on reptile carpet and i want to change it asap and i dont know if i should wait a while to do it. Also his hide is completely dark inside. should i get rid of that hide.

Go on and give the little guy atleast 6inches of top soil to dig in. The completely dark hide is a good thing, so leave it alone. At first they will hide like that sometimes. They are going to be in burrows and hides a lot anyways. That's just how they are.
