Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Chuckwalla update pics
I've had my little cb male chuck, Rigel, for just over a year now. When I got him, he was on the skinny side and only 14 grams. At his last weigh in, however, he tipped the scales at 140! He's also starting to show some nice color. My wc female, Gracie, is doing well too. She was 35 grams when I got her and over twice Rigel's size. She's pushing 80 now, but only half Rigel's size
Here're some pics of Rigel, the first is him the day I got him and him at his last weigh in and then some pics of him showing some color.

Thanks guys Watch the classifieds in late summer. Usually at least one clutch a year makes it onto the KS classifieds. I got mine from Ben Seigal in 2004. They seem to be pretty pricy ($150), but the disposition is so much better than that of wc that it's worth it. These guys also do not seem to fair well as wc's when they spend any length of time with a dealer etc., older animals are usually a challenge to get established, and they never seem to like you. My wc girl still runs when I reach in, but Rigel's my buddy, always checking to see if I've got a treat for him

Why did you pick the Uro forum?

Chuckwallas are kind of North America's answer to the Uromastyx. They're similar in terms of temps, lighting, and diet and on other forums that I've participated in there was a lot of cross posting between these species and a lot of keepers interested in both. Plus, I enjoy reading about uros and about a year ago Rich was threatening to get rid of forums that hadn't had a new post in over a month and I was afraid the uro forum would get the ax. Since I don't have any uros, I figured chucks were close enough. But if anyone gets tired of seeing them in this venue, let me know and I'll stop posting about them here.

I'd like to someday. In CA, the limit is two and I would only be able to legally keep the offspring for 45 days, so I would need to have homes that I could adopt them out to lined up. My female is also growing at a much slower rate than the male. Depending on Gracie's size, I might consider it in a couple of years. I'd definately miss them in the winter, if I had to brumate them

Currently there are no recognized subspecies of chuckwalla in the United States. They all are considered common chuckwallas, Sauromalus ater. There is a lot of variability in terms of color and pattern depending on locality. My female came from the mountains outside of Mojave. Rigel was captive bred and his parents are said to have originated from the Eagle and Coxcomb Moutains. I live in on the central coast of CA so it's a bit of a drive to see wild chucks. It must be awesome to have them running around the yard!
