Hi Kory,
My mainland chuckwalla remain pretty much normal color
just not quite as bright throughout the winter months.

Could be all that rain we've been having the last few days
not to mention the drop in temps that would be contributing
to his lack of "normal color".

I can't really check my red back males at this time as they're
all down for at least another month of cooling but I do have
a pic I took in Feb of last year showing one of my Crater
Range males and his colors were up to snuff even in early
Feb. I believe I warmed them up for one short day just to
check on them and just happened to pop him in my photo
booth for this shot.

I'm assuming your male in question is in his normal/heated
cage and was not cooled in anyway?

John
