#2045676 Bbare View Profile	HELP PLEASE... I have been searching the Internet for information on the hernandesi and douglassi species. EVERY article that I have found says "Not all information contained here is applicable to hernandesi or douglassi species." A friend went camping in central Utah high country and brought home a horned lizard. A couple weeks later it had 13 babies. I have 3 of them and would like to raise them or keep them alive till I can return them to were they came from. I need to know the proper temp and humidity for this species please. I have been feeding them small black ants and fruit flies. They gobble up anything that I put in the tank that is smaller than their mouth. They are so tiny! People tell me to just let them go but I know that they will not survive the winter here in northern Utah. I would not be able to sleep if I didn’t care for them properly. As it is a get up all night and make sure that they are okay. I have a UVA light and an incandescent Night Red Heat bulb. I am worrying that they are to warm. Then too cool. Too much humidity, not enough? Any advise would be so appreciated! Thank you, Bobbi
