[QUOTE="Ray Finkle, post: 2887609, member: 4981"] [ATTACH=full]7623[/ATTACH] I've had them as pets (state where it's legal) and the biggest challenge is getting ants. I purchased ants on a monthly basis here: [URL]https://www.antsalive.com/horned-lizard-food.htm[/URL] If you are on the N end of their territory, they will eat crickets but don't deviate from ants. Wild-caught horned lizards will hibernate. Their life spans aren't the longest. I also never handled them, as it stresses them too much. If I was looking for one as a pet, I would opt for a Desert Horned Lizard or a Short Horned Lizard, as they are hardier than the Texas Horned Lizard. I've had many lizards over the years and successful Texas Horned Lizard captivity takes expert level care and some luck. If someone wanted a lizard that was spiny, very docile, and very easy to care for, I cannot recommend Bearded Dragons enough. Give it a TCU name and roll with it, as their life span and appearance is hard to beat as a respectable replacement. They are from Australia and we have an Australian punter (hint, hint). [/QUOTE]
