Make "adjustments" around the cage to wake her up and make your presence known. Move the water bowl, level out the substrate, fix a hide, etc. Then rub her back to get her to stand up and then put your hand under her belly, pick her up and grab the base of her tail to assure her that she’s safe.

Just curious? Why do you need to "wake up" your Tegu at all?

Yeah personally I would never wanna wake my tegu up except once when I didnt know he was under the water bowl and I had to clean it.....Maybe you can tap the tail a little to make your tegu walk a bit and get it to wake up a bit?

Eh, ive always just grabbed them ... by the time i unlock the lock and open the door they already heard me and they are still just in doze mode, so they know im there they just havent opened their eyes yet. But do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.

By the way, Zeke is finally at my house for the summer!!
