Hello,

I am in the process of aqcuiring a female juvenille chuck and would like some advice, tricks, tips, etc... from anyone who cares for this species. I am of course, getting it legally.

Thanks and Take Care,

Geoff Orr

Keep them just as obesus when young. As they age about the same but less rock and a place for them to think they are going into a burrow. Also humudity is a real issue with them. Appearantly you are in AZ and are getting it from Dr K. They cannot take it as dry they need some humidity, You should set up a misting system for the late fall, summer and early winter or a humidifier if kept indoors. I like to get it up to 60 percent at night and let it drop to about 30-35 during the day. If this is not done they will have skin problems. Good luck, Tom.

Thanks Tom. Also, how old do they have to be before they can breed? How long is their life expectancy?
