This turns out to be a rebuilding year for me. I lost my female Calico last winter for reasons unknown; she appeared very healthy but did not make it. I had hoped my 3 year old male would be ready to breed this season and so forth... Now I am debating what to do...I really enjoy the island chucks and would prefer having another female Calico or Hispidus to share the enclosure (besides the Desert Iguanas) rather than a female Ater which I can get here in NV as a hobbyist (I tried a young male Ater recently thinking buddies?...not so much, he was running for his life). Anyone have experience keeping island Chucks with common Chucks...good or bad idea? Ideally I guess I would like to have another Calico or Hispidus but they are hard to come by. I guess ultimately I would like to give the big guy some Chuck companionship.
Thanks for any responses!

A
