A Basilisk is a What?
A member of the Lizard family and make great pets...
  
Plumed Basilisk fact sheet
Species Basilicus plumifrons
Description
These lizards are long and thin, reaching lengths of over two feet. They are bright green, and have a blue tint on their sides. It has a double crest on it's head, and spines on it's back. This is one lizard that actually looks a little like a dinosaur.
Climate
They need to be kept warm, around 85F during the day, 70F at night. They need a fairly high humidity level to be comfortable, and so they should be misted at least once per day.
Habitat
These lizards run. In fact, they run fast. They can even run accross water! For this reason, they need a good sized cage, with a big water container. Six feet accross is the minimum to keep them happy.
Feeding
They will eat insects and small rodents. Some will also eat commercial reptile food.
Notes
Be careful letting these out of their cage - they can probably run faster than you! They are territorial, and so only one should be kept unless you want to breed them.
