Chuckwallas?

Lizards Other Lizards

Hi,

I’m very interested in getting a chuckwalla, I can’t find any breeders at all. I wanted something similar to a bearded dragon, but something a little unique. I’ve done a bit of research and have read that the heat requirement is a little hotter and I was interested in these guys because they are vegetarians and I’d like to be able to by all their food at the grocery store/ Market. I’ve seen certain types of lizards out on walks, is this one of those lizards that I could potentially take for a little stroll outside?

Thanks for your input

Melissa

Make sure you can legally purchase one in your state. In some states that they’re native to, you would have to catch a wild one in order to legally obtain it.

As far as actually getting one, the only person I know who breeds them is Phillip Lietz at Arids Only. They’re not very commonly bred in captivity.
