Well I am assuming he is a baby, he is no more than two inches long not including his tail. We feel terrible about this. We immediately read as much as we could find on the internet. The last thing we would want is to hurt any creature. We realized immediately that he had to be let go. We just don't know if we can let him go here in our desert. Will the 200 mile difference hurt him? Is he going to be ok going this whole day without food so far? Should my husband collect some ants outside for him right now? I don't know what a PM message is or how to retrieve it. Thanks again! Angela
