Thanks guys hopefully they will do great. They eat crickets but need ants. Lots of care requirements. If your willing with all the time they take up they are a great genus to work with and not to bad if you do a lot of research.

Hi!

THat's one of the greatest lizards in this world and afaik all of them are considering endangered even some of them exported in quotas abroad some american countries.
The one we have here regularly is platyrrhinos species.
They eat nearly everything but when you stop feeding them ants they die within 2 months usually.
So, feeder ants colony is a must for any of them even for some ant deit consider 60% or 80% - no matter...
Some people use surrogat (artificial) components for feeding them but this method they keep in secret.
