Basilisk

Rescue: Fresh Start Rescue
Location: Wallace, NC
Intake Date: 8/2022
Species: Basilisk
Sex: Unknown (Possible male)
Age: Unknown
LOCAL PICK UP ONLY

This poor lizard got shipped to NC in a truck full of plants. He lost his tail along the way and is terrified of people. Since Basilisk's are invasive to Florida, it is illegal to send him back home. We have no clue on the age or sex. He eats insects, although he won't let you see him eat yet, and his tail is regrowing nicely. He would do better with an experienced owner.
