Good luck finding if anyone breeds them
Thats a common misconception. In the wild the feed mainly from ants in the genus Iridiomyrmex but will take basicly any small black ants that walk in trails. I know of one private breeder and a mate of mine is the keeper of them at a wildlife park. They normally get fed 6-8 times per day so they are very time consuming.
