so do her back legs work at all? i don't know how to put this eloquently. does she drag herself by her front legs or does she get some support and movement from her little knubs? i really like the pattern on her back. eve you really are a miracle worker

I happen to know ONE, and HE has blessed me abundantly with many critter friends to love, and people friends TOO!

Including the ones I can't see, like you, and all the crew around here, but have bonds with just the same

Hooty's back legs scoot, they move from the hip area where they meet her body, but the actual legs do not unfold, and her back feet stay grasped looking. In the front she has no hands to speak of, a couple of finger nubs. But her front legs do work.

She can move quick, LOL but like I say kind of scaddles around.
Shes got a ton of personality, and has an attitude at times, quite funny ! And what an appetite, heheheheh

I find her upside down sometimes, loses her balance I guess,
and I say "Hooty what are you doing," and I see her upside down little face look up at me as I flip her over, I can tell shes appreciative. And I appreciate her as well

These kind of animals teach you so very much about patience, perserverence, The will to live. She trys so hard to just be a normal CHUCKWALLA like shes meant to be.

The boys love her, and she loves to come out and walk with them also.
