The Legend of Old Rip the Horned Lizard - Texas Parks and Wildlife [Official]

Did Old Rip really survive 31 years in a time capsule? His legend inspired a media frenzy and even a Warner Bros. cartoon. You can still see Old Rip at the courthouse in Eastland, TX near Abilene. For more on horned lizards, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhw7JSHPMg4

Hey TIFFANDJAIME, I have one and it is very simple to take care of them, mine is the exact same one and I feed him mealworms and crickets and sometimes spiders! He eats anything you give him! My tank has white sand that I got at petco and a water container an a little house. Of course you have to get him a light to get him energy or he will freeze to death
