Chuckwalla, Sauromalus Ater
Grebster, redback boy, received from Tom Greb many years ago :0)
Hooty's a SPECIAL disabled female. A buddy on the chuckwalla forum, had the
unfortunate experience of his incubator being shut off by mistake, to early. All the
eggs were lost but ONE .
Hooty hatched deformed, and in a couple days was not eating either. I was fortunate
enough to be in on the conversation of making Hooty a freeze pop :0( And asked if I
could try and get her to eat.
At 6 days old, my friend BJ ( Good guy) send her to me. She was a determined little
thing and soon began to thrive. Her back legs never unfolded and she walks on her
wrist in the front. She sorta scadadles when out for a romp.
Hooty arrived at 6 days old deformed
Such good pals, Chewy and Grebster In
loving memory of Chewalla.
The gorgeous Dapple, San Esteban Island or piebald chuckwalla received her
from my good friend Tom Greb. Sadly I lost Dapple, the prettiest girl ever

Slow Worms / Anguis fragilis
|

The slow worm, a legless lizard, was once thought to be a serpent and is often mistaken for a snake. There are certain
features that separate the slow worm from snakes, however, including the presence of an eye lid, which earned the species
the alternative name of 'blind worm' This species is the most commonly seen reptile in Britain.grayish have a smooth,
shiny appearance, and a grey or bluish belly. Males and females are different in appearance; females are brown, copper
coloured or red on the back, with brown or black sides, often with lighter iridescent flecks. In many individuals there is a
dark stripe passing along the middle of the back and stripes running along the sides of the body. Males vary in colour, they
may be grayish, brown, coppery or reddish-brown, and typically do not have stripes; furthermore, they have broader and
longer heads. Occasionally, individuals may have blue spots, a feature that is more common amongst males than females.
In juvenile slow worms, the back is iridescent silver, gold, bronze or copper and the sides are brown or black. Received from
