It is a water dragon page but the care is pretty much the same. I have owned both, and the only big difference is the personalities. Water dragons are tame and friendly while basilisks are skittish and paraniod and get stressed with handling. Water dragons don't mind handling very much. Basilisks are basically display animals only.
