well im moving to southern CA in about 2 weeks (I lived their when i was little and went their for almost every summer) so i have handling experience with most desert lizards (like chucks) and the temperate zone(i think) lizards that live down there but not housing experience... now most lizards i catch out there will be caught and released, but just incase I find a lil baby one or an injured one I would like to have at least an idea on how to house Chuckwallas to give them a happy home :P.
What should the temps be? humidity?
What would be the best substrate? Is solid or loose substrate best?
I feed my Leopard geckos mealworms and crickets. would these be good staples for a chuck?
How many hides? humid hide?
Do they need extra calcium?
And is there anything else that I need to know that I didn’t ask about?
thank you...

Chuck questions
Chuckwalla are desert plant-eaters (herbivores) like a Uromastyx. They like lots of hiding places like sturdy rocks and corkbark tubes/flats over deep sandy dirt. Look up how to house Uromastyx online and Chucks are very similar.
