Thinking about Green Basilisk

[LurkerAccount]

Hey, I was thinking about getting one of these if I can find one anywhere.
I can built an 8'x2'x2' enclosure, is this good enough?
And can I feed them a lot of fish?
How much should I expect to pay for a CB baby?

Thanks a lot

You should expect to pay around 50$ for a plumbed basilisk.

If the dimensions are lengthXwidthXheight, you may want to expand the width and height a bit: width should be 3-4 feet, height should be about 3 feet. Your dimensions could work, but bigger is better.

You can feed them fish, but I wouldn't over do it. Variety is key.

Yes Basilisks are fairly active lizards- they like to climb, so height is very important in a cage, and they are also kind of skittish ... meaning they have been known to run around a lot when nervous or scared ... so i think it would be best to have some width and depth to the cage just as Brock suggested.

The more variety in the diet the better.

i have 4 green basilisks-bob, betty, barb, and basil,.
we love our basilisks, we have ours in a 4x4x4ft box, with lots of high areas, they love to jump.lots of stones and branches, they love crickets and meal worms, mine do not bite.

Fish are dirty, feeder goldfish are extremely dirty... Stick with bugs and the occasional pinky.. Good luck.
