First of all what are the ants doing that makes you want to get rid of them? Most ants can be avoided and dont cause a problem except they cause grass to stop growing in their area. It would be virtually impossible to receive a permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife to keep HL for the reason you have stated. Texas Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma Cornutum) and Moutained Short Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma Hernandesi) are listed as endangered. In the application you will have to give a physical location where the animals will be kept. You will be asked your experience in care and handeling these animals. You will be asked to list at least 2 references of people that already hold a permit and who agree to help supervise their care. You also have to list a vet that will be used in the case of the HL being injured or sick. Your holding facilities will also be inspected. Heating, cooling and many other factors will be looked at. You can contact the Texas Parks and Wildlife and ask them for a list of rehab or permited holders of HL's in your area. If they need the ants they can come out and remove them. But if you have been in Texas long you should know that these ants are about everywhere. Just avoid them.
