there is only three kinds of horned lizards you can keep which are the short horned,desert horned, and the round tailed horned lizards and places where you can get these are www.chuckwalla.com,www.desertreptiles.com, and www.radicalreptiles.com and for more information go to the horned lizard fourm

I don't recommend them, because the only ones I've seen for sale have been wild-caught, and they generally don't do well.

I disagree I've caughten horned toads in the wild and they did great I fed them ants and crickets. You just have to give them enough calcium and duplicate their environment.

o really if you fead your lizards crickets you dont deserve any lizards because a horned lizards diet is made up of only ants in the wild and if you take one out of the wild it may eat what you give it but if you make cricket the main diet of horned lizard it will die within a year and you dont give them calcium on the ants becuase the ants that are fed to them have been outside and have gotten calcium from the sun and the lizards get calcium from eating dirt with the ants and to much calcium kills your lizards with kidney faliure
