    What a gorgeous family you have! Gollum is one great looking basilisk, so very prehistoric looking.

    Yeah the mrs is obsessed lol. When we get all the frogs they will be Frodo, Merry, Pippin & Samwise. If I had my way they would all have starwars names but she says no ha ha

    Great pets! I was wondering what size enclosure you keep your basilisks in? I have mine in the recommended 55 gallon, but its seems way too small! I want to upgrade but im trying to gather as much information as possible before i do so. Do you have any pictures of your enclosure you could share?

    Here is a link to a video of my little guy "Zeus" YouTube - Zeus.mov

    I will take some pics in the next couple of days but here is what they are both in at the mo Vivexotic Products - EX range, ellmau beech, winchester oak & tobacco walnut EX48, EX55 & vivariums and matching cabinets. Wooden vivariums for large terrestrial reptiles including boas and python snakes. (the EX48)

    and here is what I have just ordered for them Vivexotic Products - AX range bavarian beech, AX22, AX36 vivariums. climbing reptiles including lizards, geckos, chameleons suitable. (the AX36) which is more recomended as they prefer more vertical space than horizontal

    Hope that helps a bit

    OMG I thought that was a normal link but vivexotic have some kind of magic powers & made it say all that weird stuff lol

    your tank looks good but I would recommend something taller at some point & a 50/50 bottom would be better for him (half water & half land) as they like to run around too

    Wow, the tanks on the website you linked me are gorgeous!!! I wish I could find something similar here in Canada! Today I looked at 120 gallon tanks which are not perfect shape wise but could work. I agree with the half land half water...anything else you recommend to keep him happy? (I just got him a few weeks ago.)

    Yeah they are nice vivs & I keep gettin more of the things which is costing me a fortune lol

    He looks healthy & V happy & I noticed you are dusting your crickets which is good

    The only thing I would recommend is moving your goldfish as they do eat fish if they get the chance. Let me know what viv you get

    The fish are actually food. (Sorry fish lovers.) When i got the basilisk he came with the tank and with all the creatures inside. The guy who sold him to me said the basilisk LOVES eating fish. I questioned him on cleanliness and parasites...but the guy said the lizard was raised eating them, and has had no problems. Once this batch is finished off i doubt i will replace them. What do you feed your basilisks? (Sorry about all the questions, your animals look so healthy, you really sound like you know what you are doing.)

    ha ha thats ok then I was just worried that they were pets too & had visions of you looking & thinking im sure there were more lol

    Mine just have dusted crickets & the occasional wax worm as a treat & might get the occasional pinkie when they are the size of yours. I might also try getting them some fish at some point. Bet its great watching him dive in to catch them

    Goldfish are very dirty and i now need a second filter to keep the water clear. I love the idea of the basilisk being able to help himself to fish whenever he is hungry though. Unfortunately I've never actually seen him eat one. But they have been disappearing one by one, with no hint of remains so i think he is eating them! Thanks for all the help and advice Pedrosis!

    The only way I could think to improve it would be to make it even bigger! 20' x 20' 10' What kind of fish are in with him? They look like Xiphophorus maculatus to me.
