Hi!
This was told to me by Tom Greb a long time ago, and it worked beautifully. As always, if I miss remembered details and you are out there, Tom, please correct me.
Lather the Chuckwalla with olive oil or vegetable oil and place it in a cardboard shoebox overnight. The mites will abandon the animal and burrow into the cardboard for refuge from the oil. Next day, scrub the Chuckwalla with a warm bath, maybe even a little mild soap (just this once), and a toothbrush. Preferably not the one You use! LOL. Discard the box right away, and re-install the Chuckwalla in a clean terrarium

Good luck!
