Lets see if I can spell better this time, LOL!!
First of all these Lizards need ants but they eat other insects, so for the sake of feeding and keeping them up on something, try 1/4 crickets, and some wax worms. In the meantime might order some ants from Life West and see if they will eat them. If you going fo ants are you sure the ants you talked about live there? I mean the black ants I talked about were in the mountians in New Mexico that doesn't mean your going to have these there or even black ants unless you've seen them before? What you need to do is find out what ants are indiginous to that area. I also think that you need to check the temps in the cage? These animals don't need high heat, like 90 on the hot side would be adequate. I assume you have UVB bulb? What size cage do you have it in? Are you spraying water on the rocks and is it going to the water and lapping up the water? I hope so because hydration is important in these animals as they live at higher altitudes where it is cooler, and don't mind a little more moisture. Can you post a picture of your animal on the web? Would like to see what it looks like.Cheers!!!
