what do you want ants for? got a horned lizard?

If the company is still around, check out <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.antsalive.com">www.antsalive.com</a><!-- w --> . Just out of curiosity what are you feeding? If you are feeding horned lizards (depending on the species), you may want to hit a few people up on the arachnoboards in getting you queen ants and starting your own colony.

nope even better a group of volans.

wow not cheap indeed and thanks again for all the help. my goal with the little guys is to keep alive and hopefully succesfully breed and get hatchlings and continue from there. pics will be up tomorrow.

ok, i did a search......and unless your feeding ants to a steering wheel i have no idea what a volan is.

care to enlighten me?

edit: wait, a flying lizard?? thats amazing!

have you tried pinhead crickets or the smallest of roach baby's?

double edit, looks like those things are a pain in the ass, here's a thread:

yes draco volans. 1 died and left me with 3. ill have pics up in about an hr. i havent heard anything easy about them yet but i wanna give it a shot and see what i can do. and i know ants must play a role in there diet so i guarantee i will spend more time and money than i should but my mind is set so i will make them live and breed in captivity and have viable eggs.
