Horned Lizard, The Best Pet Lizard?
Рет қаралды 141,238
Күн бұрынHorned lizards, or as I knew them growing up, horned toads, (Phrynosoma spp.) are incredibly neat little lizards. That said, they are not generally very good pets. Why? In a word, ants. In three words, lots of ants. But let's take a deeper look at these amazing lizards anyway just to determine if the horned lizard is the best pet reptile for you.

They are the kind of lizard you catch, keep in a Rubbermaid tub for a few days to observe, and let back into the wild. Used to do it all the time as a kid before they became really rare around the area. Still have a few harvester ant nests on the property we don't touch just in case they are around.

Growing up we had a "pet" horned lizard! We called them Horney toads. I loved our "pet" so much! We grew up in the desert so we saw them all the time. One time we caught one and kept it in our greenhouse in a tank. We had a BUNCH of different ant colonies on our property, so we would go outside every day and harvest a bunch of ants for him to eat! We had it for a very long time until we had to move and we had to set him free

So they're out there if you want them. For me, there are so many other cool lizards. But for someone who wants them, they are available. Just do some research.

I'm new to your content but was really excited to see you posted this. I've been caring for a greater short - horned lizard for 8 months now and initially researching what he needed to have a healthy life required a lot of digging through websites, calling around, and joining multiple reptile advice forums. I never intended to have a lizard but, when he fell into my lap I was determined to make it work and I have been fortunate enough to have the means to care him. As cool as they are, I would agree they are NOT good family pets and should be loved from afar. Looking forward to watching some new content!

I grew up with these all over the place in southern Arizona. Many years ago, when I moved to Florida, I found one in a pet store. Knowing that they (and anyone they would likely sell it to) didn't know how to care for it, I bought it and set it up at home. I had to have carpenter ants (which I also had a lot of experience with - very nasty!) shipped in large deli containers once a month. Imagine a thousand of some of the largest, most active ants, with really nasty stings roiling around in, and ready to explode out of, a plastic tub. I had them shipped to my university - being a biologist has it's advantages.

We went on a road trip as small kids and found one of these guys outside a motel along the way. I begged my mom to keep it, thinking we could put it in a tupperware until we got home. Up until starting to watch this video, I still felt my childhood indignation that she said no, but unearthing that memory as an adult, of course that was the wisest answer! Even if it has been a good pet species, any poor creature we kept on the road would have suffered. Her explanation may have been unfair ("nothing green is allowed in the house except vegetables!" Total reptile hater, though strangely loves frogs?), but I'm retroactively thanking my mom for sparing us the very sad reality of watching a beautiful wild creature starve to death. Thanks for opening and closing the door on that memory by talking about these cool little guys.

I grew up with a pet Horned Toad (Lizard) named Spike. He was wild caught by our neighbor in the Mojave desert, and we kept him for 6 years before he died of old age. When we got him, he was already full grown, and the expected life span in captivity was only a few months, probably because of the harvester ants. We recently caught a juvenile of a different species up in Oregon, where we live, called the Mountain Horned Toad. My brother decided to keep it, as I'm off at college, and he's had no issues feeding a variety of insects, since we don't have harvester ants in central Oregon. Absolutely love them, they have great personality once they get used to people. Recommend a variety of insects for all Horned Toad species, not just ants. They're opportunistic and will eat anything that crawls.

I loved these lizards as a kiddo, caught and released many. Coolest lizards ever.

You did a nice job on this video. I'm glad you stated precisely why they're not widely available, and that people should not go out and buy one without extensive research and resources. I also appreciated the sentiment that they should not be collected from the wild. Phrynosoma are a delicate genus reserved for only the most experienced and dedicated keepers. One more thing I would add is that these animals need DAILY care regardless of how well prepared you are. In my experience (and I've kept platyrhinos, taurus, cornutum, modestum, asio, douglassi, hernandesi, and orbiculare), most will not recognize standing water and likely get most of their water from dew in the wild. This means religiously dripping water on them daily with a pipette to keep them healthy and well-hydrated.

I have to say this channel is never boring. I’ve learned a lot since finding it. Mostly that some of the most stinkin rad reptiles on the planet make terrible pets. But there are plenty of alternatives.
