Sdduming first that these are legal to collect in your state, as we do support legal co;llection, I would check the scat of the horned lizard and youshould be able to identify the ant specie. When observing the short-horns in New ZMexico I found that those around Rioduso eat exclusively black medium sized ants that we found around wood that was rotted, buty I don't believe they were termites, they were some specie of ant. Plus they ate small grassuoppers as well.. You still might try a carpenter anmt and see if it works. Obviously if you are to eb committed to the raising of this lizard you'll need to get a supply of ants whether localized or out of the area.Cheers!!!!
