Yes, an immediate photo. The question of whether it is safe to hibernate or not is the first thing to address right now. If it is, then it will need to be cooled down and no lights. If it is not then it will have to be warmed and have UVB lighting and given harvester ants. Thus the reason it is important to show a photo right away to see if it has enough fat reserves. Make sure you keep it hydrated though, because two weeks with a youngster and it's likely dehydrated. Best way to do that is to soak it for a while, then mist it occasionally with a clean spray bottle ( using room temp or lukewarm bottled/filtered water-no tap water. )
Also see hibernation related posts in the other threads.
