I'm planning on getting a plumed basilisk baby here real soon (actually about six months from now, when I move and finally have the room for this beauty) and I'm probably barking up the wrong tree here, but does anyone have any advice to be given for these specific animals? I've read that their care is pretty similar to a water dragon (which I'm already well-aquainted with, given that I have two females in my care already), it's just that they're really flighty. That's fine with me, and I'll probably try and develop some type of relationship with it so that I'm not causing it undue stress when I'm doing daily maintenance on the enclosure, although if it doesn't want to be a "lap dog" I'm perfectly OK with that.
Question as well:
I have a fairly large outdoor enclosure (5'x5'x8') that I have my girls in sometimes. I like to take them out there right after a rainstorm or during a light drizzle, as they seem to enjoy it after they'd they've adjusted to all of the stimuli. I know that basilisks tend to be more nervous, so do you think it would be a good idea to have him/her out there as well when it gets to its adult size (not with the water dragons, they can always take turns)? It's perfectly OK if it's probably not a good idea, as I'm planning out a rep-mansion for this guy, but my girls always seem to enjoy this time outside.
Thanks for any input
