Default My Basilisk (pix)

Should grow to 4-5 feet (mostly tail :happysad: ) in a year or so.

It's pretty smart. I just brought more crickets home but placed them outside the tank and the Basilisk ran to the side closest to the crickets and tried to get at them. Kind of cruel though, I found 3-4 uneaten crickets that looked maimed in a pile. h:

Currently eats six crickets a day. Can't wait till I can feed MICE!

Right now it's a 20 gallon. I have to buy a HUGE terranium (sp?) in a bit. h: Little guy also needs UV lighting, 100w basking light, 50w red light for the night, heated floor and a fogger. So spoiled. About a grand. Maybe I should have got a puppy....
