The horned toad is no an exotic animal and is native to the United States and Canada. Because their diets are very specific it is generally *recommended* that they not be kept as pets.

OP, please do research and if you caught this animal in the wild, please also consider returning it to the wild for both you and the animal's sake.

He gave the scientific name so it was easy to look up. The scientific name of the thorny devil is Moloch horridus.

And both are reptiles. The horned toad is more properly the horned lizard. I have no idea why they call it a toad.

Oh, I see what the problem is. OP called the generic name "thorny devil" which is not accurate given the scientific name. Horned toad or horned lizard is what the OP has. Either way, I would encourage OP to research and, if he caught it in the wild, consider releasing it. If it was captive bred then that's a different story.
