1 Male 1 Female Unrelated Basilisks approx 7 months old £100 for the pair. The female is really friendly but the male is shy and needs a bit more time. These lizards are arboreal and prefer locations near water. When frightened, the lizard will drop from a branch overhanging a pool of water and scurry off to seek protection. Having specialized scales on the bottoms of the rear feet, basilisks are able to run across the surface of water for some distance before breaking the surface tension and swimming away hurriedly. They have been thus dubbed the "Jesus lizard" in parts of their native countries. Basilisks enjoy a variety of insects and readily accept crickets, mealworms, Zoophobia, wax worms, grasshoppers, spiders, and an occasional pinkie mouse. Their food should be dusted with a fine powder vitamin supplement and calcium supplement with vitamin D3 about once per week. The males of these species grow to lengths of up to three feet-most of which is tail.
