You can buy the ants from www.antsalive.com
You can find care sheets ar these sites, they all are a bit different, but will get you on the right track.

I believe there are three different species that can be owned without a permit, the most common and easiest to care for is the Phrynosoma platyrhinos.
Captive breed HL's are very hard to find and there is usually a waiting list. You can expect to spend around 100 dollars.
However, there are a few sites listed in this forum where you can purchase wild captured for 30 or 35 dollars plus shipping.

Hope this answers all your questions.
If anyone has anymore links on carsheets I would like to see them.
Thanks!

Troy
