hay all
well he is here speedy my new banded baslisk I got him sunday night, he is about 15 inches long, he is light brown with two brownish yellow stripes he is very lively and very fast, and eats alot. well any way I bought a book on this species and it is realy not clear how fast and how large he will grow, he is about 5 to 8 months old does any body know?

No idea about baslisks but congrats on the new addition.

Congrats on your new addition. I dont know how fast they grow, growth rate for most animals varies as to how they are fed. I have read that they get 2 to 2 1/2 feet. And where are our pictures...

:D I'm smiling because I have no idea whats going on!

well thoughs pics are gonna haave to wait cuase my camera is realy slow and he wont say still for a photo, not to mention my camera stinks but I will have some soon

Have you seen him run on water yet? Bathtub with one floating device on one end and another floating device on the other end might do the trick. I've personally never seen it but I've heard that that is what they do and putting him in the tub might get him to do that. Let me know! I'm thinking of getting a basilisk myself. I've got a chinese water dragon and hear that those are few of the only species that can co-habitate. What have you heard?

Yeah Karamu that is correct...but I wouldnt suggest it..itcould stress on the WD but they are very closely related...as for there growth rate I have a book on tham Ill go dig it out in a second when I wake up more

yeah they do great together, my water dragon lilly and speedy are always together since I brought him home,but if you do get one make sure you have a long and tall tank cuase once they start running they have a hard time stoping and then they cram into the side of the enclosure.

Hello,

Congrats on the new addition. I look forward to the pics.
