Actually you can't keep CHLs without a special permit, neither can the breeder who gave you it. You should contact Lester, he has permits for them. I think it is illegal to release them back into the wild as well. For the time being here is a link for ants: http://www.brockhaven.com/antfarm or http://www.antsalive.com/hornedlizard.htm
