Yes he did hibernate but only for 2-3 weeks, not sure if the previous owner had hibernated him or not though. Thanks for the advice, I was actually more worried the previous owner had lied to us than anything else, as you start to wonder what else they may have lied about.

He's some more of Midnight (named so because I think he looks like stars on a black night sky!) Really settling in well at the shop, and loving all the attention! And much happier now I brought his cave from home!

Lol we seem to be fans of the Universe

Cygnus (Siggy) (my tegu) is named after the Constellation Cygnus.
