Desert Horned Lizard eating Harvester Ants

I caught this little guy near my house and he's taken quite well to captivity. He was a little hesitant to eat with anyone around at first, but doesn't mind spectators now.

DISCLAIMER: These are not good pets. They are tough to care for and don't do well if you are not educated on what to do with them.

@quentek25 oh because you can see that his ants are about the same size as the lizard's feet

@gtariman03 Yes, keep in mind this is a YOUNG DHL, not an adult.

@theiglady Yep. But not before you breed them :D

I'm glad you released him, I love these guys and don't mind if they are captive bred. But if they were born outside, they should live outside.

@016kayykayy Ok, random person. He did fine for the couple months I had him, then released him back where he was found.
