Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have a small brown basilisk and she doesn't seem to be getting any bigger. she is actually tiny compared to those at the pet store. she has a 25 gallon aquarium with live and fake plants a water fountain pool thing and she eats crickets and mealworms but doesn't seem too keen on any vegetation. she also rubs her face on the lid and sometimes rubs it raw. any input is welcome. there is also a fire belly tree toad and a whites tree frog in the tank. she is very active and loves to soak in the pool thing how big should she get?

One possible reason is that sheis forced to live in a tank which is too small for even a hatchling.
Also many other things can be wrong.
I´d recommend to look into my old caresheet for B. plumifrons (sorry, Pics are gone), which applies for B. vittatus as well-only that you may reduce needed tank sizes by 20%(not more!)

Hope that helps

my caresheet

Definately get a much bigger cage, and get rid of the frogs! Mixing species is a very dangerous thing to try, the frogs are toxic to the bassie, and she will try to eat them.
