Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Ok, I'm thinking about getting a Basilisk, but I can hardly find any useful information. I know the basic reptile requirements and that they should be rarely handled, but my biggest question is, where do I get them? LIke I said, I can hardly find any useful information. Any info would be much obliged,

hello, i live in arizona as well, but in tucson. i have never seen any for sale in our reptile shops, but i purchased mine through the yearly reptile expo. i think phoenix has a website about when their expos are. if you dont want to wait and you have done your research, maybe try purchasing one online. here are some websites that have some:

www.gherp.com

i found lots of other ones through google under "CB green basilisk" although i have never dealt with them before.
i hope you find what you are looking for and if you get one i wish you the best of luck!

i might have assumed you lived in phoenix by your name, i sure feel stupid if im wrong=)

You can search the web for any petshops specializing in herps that are near you. there are several FAQ pages and caresheets on the web, which generally give you a good idea of the basic. but i would strongly recommend getting a publication such as
Green Water Dragons, Sailfin Lizards and Basilisks by Philippe De Vosjoli (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-8036625-7888739) if thi i your first reptile i would recommend reconsidering. the are pretty flighty and tend to bight. water dragons are similar in care requirements and in general (especilly chinese water dragon) tend to be much more apt to handeling.

My Son bought his at LLL Reptile. We were in there today and they have one.
