Horned toads are fantastic, let me know how you get on. Laughing

Good luck

Hi Scott,
Thanks,
They are as far as we know Platyrhinos, we have the others, but these look alot brighter in colour
Fingers crossed they do well
Cheers Chris

i see your giving them waxworms, what else are they taking? I always thought they were specialist ant feeders?

I had a pair about 10 years ago, can't remember what ssp. they were doing really well on pin head crickets and would bask under a heat lamp at 100f plus, the female also laid a clutch of eggs, although none hatched.
I think I had them for almost a year.

Hi Scott,
One pair we have we have had for nearly a year, the others are new,.
Waxworms, ants and crickets are their staple diet.
There is a Formic Acid issue going on, but more research is needed
