Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

Bright emerald green and crowned with elegant plumes, the green basilisk has one truly miraculous trick: when startled, it can dash across the surface of a pond or stream on its hind legs, earning it the nickname the ‘Jesus Christ lizard.’

Running on Water

Special fringed toes and blazing speed let the basilisk slap the water fast enough to stay on top of it, sprinting across the surface for several yards before it swims — one of nature’s great escape tricks.

Crowned With Plumes

Males carry tall crests on the head, back and tail, giving this jewel-green lizard a distinctly dragon-like, plumed silhouette.

A Waterside Life

It lives in rainforest along rivers and streams, basking on branches over the water and dropping in to run or swim away from danger.

Emerald Beauty

Its brilliant green coloring and elegant crests make the green basilisk one of the most beautiful lizards of Central America — here rounded into a plump, plumed figure.

“An emerald dragon that walks on water when trouble comes.”
