Desert Horned Lizard Set-up

I am in the process of seting up for 2 captive bred Desert HLs! So far, we have any comming, have placed 3 or 4 inches of sifted, washed sand, added a pile of rocks under the basking spot as well as branches that go to withing an inch of the backing lamps. I have Reptisun 5.0 and 2 other heat sources on one end of the tank to give them a HOT basking spot, with many levels. We have a very shallow water dish (even though I have been told it isn't needed, but here it will help with humidity). We also have a great number of Harvester ant hill around here, so we will be collecting some in adition to the shipments. Can anyone give input as to what additional things you would put in their tank? Thanks
