Green Basilisk, The Best Pet Lizard?
Рет қаралды 142,173
2 жыл бұрынThe green basilisk (Basiliscus plumifrons) is a beautiful, unique, and interesting lizard. It can run across the surface of water, often getting them the name Jesus Christ lizard. This is a righteous lizard, but is it a good pet? Is the green basilisk the best pet lizard for you?

Toward the beginning of the book “Jurassic Park,” there’s a girl bitten by a procompsognathus (small dinosaur), and a local biologist initially assumes based on the child’s description of a bipedal lizard that it was a basilisk. While the scene of the girl being attacked wasn’t used in the movie “Jurassic Park” (arguably a very reasonable omission to streamline the plot), it was later used as the opening scene for the movie “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” As an aside, it’s interesting to think that, given there’s at least a reasonable possibility that these dinosaurs may very well have been feathered, in the hypothetical “Jurassic Park” scenario where they were brought back to life today, a young girl describing the creature might possibly describe it as an exceptionally strange bird, rather than a bizarre lizard.

Great video Clint! I've been fortunate enough to spend time at my friends facility and have had the chance to work with three of the four basilisk species. The information you and Matt shared was spot on! These are not good "pets". One truly has to be willing to provide a HUGE enclosure all for a lizard that generally DOES NOT want to be messed with., Beauty has it's costs, but the beauty of a stress free captive born & bred B. plumifrons in a massive display enclosure is hard to beat!
