Chuckwallas

Chuckwallas are unique and less common. These are completely herbivorous lizards that come from very hot desert environments. The plant material that they should be fed in captivity is similar to what green iguanas are given: dandelion greens, hibiscus, mustard greens, collard greens, and other vegetables with the proper calcium to phosphorus ratio. These lizards obtain their water needs from the food they eat and require very high basking temperatures.
