I have not posted on this forum before, but I have been spending some time here as a spectator recently.
I have never kept Sauromalus before, but I have kept Dipsosaurus dorsalis dorsalis and found them to be rather enjoyable captives. I'm considering getting a pair or trio of Desert iguanas again, and I'd also like to locate a pair or trio of Redback Chuckwallas as well, if possible.
My questions are the following:
1.) Does anyone know of any reputable breeders of Desert iguanas and/or Redback Chuckwallas?
2.) I saw at the Sonora-Arizona Desert Museum that they had a large enclosure containing both a group of Desert Iguanas and a group of Chuckwallas. Would it be possible to safely and comfortably house both a pair of chuckwallas and a trio of Desert iguanas in the same enclosure? Of course, given the enclosure would be sizable and provide multiple basking areas. I know multiple species housing is generally frowned upon, but I was curious if such a setup could work as I think it would be an interesting venture.
Thanks for any help you guys may be willing to provide.
