Joe III I had my horned toad for five years...before he died IF you are at all familiar with horned toads...you'd know that they're whole lives in the wild is usually spent sitting by ant mounds....what type of ant mounds..fire ants/red/black army ants....super high in ascorbic acid...and that's what the horn toad needs to live Much like calcium and Iguanas That's why they are so tuff to raise in captivity & are not recommended..no one can raise those dang ants their primary food source I fed my horned toad crickets dusted with ascorbic acid powder a tip I got from the San Diego zoo. He was the best reptile I ever had...and he is surely missed.
Anyway...I say go for the horned toads...their great! and Organic!
