Can anyone identified this?
I think its a water dragon, but I'm no expert.
The pictures are blurry because of the old plastic container, full of scratches.

should be the malaysian brown basiliks...its brown in colour & can change colour one...dunno what its called...but tis fairly common...

basiliks huh? thats a cool name...


edit:
err... I found pictures of the brown basilisk, but it doesn't look like what I caught.
Is this a brown basilisk?



Is there any difference between a brown basilisk and a malaysian brown basilisk?

don think that is a water dragon , water dragon is green colour 1...

i got one big monitor lizard or iguana at home hiding in the drain...and will come out in the afternoon to sun bask near my pond and garden.until now its so hard to catch him?anyone has any bright ideas?

i think that's a monitor lizard ,iguana don lives in the drain , and don try to catch it la , let it be la .. later it attack you then u know..

Let it be... that is like a free pet that you don't have to feed..
Just don't reverse your car over it.

its a really disguiting pet loh~ an almost a full hand foot long...the reason why i wanted to get rid of it was some fish were missing from my pond...

monitors grow into monsters that feed on chickens, eggs and meat, not to mention everything else that is edible. there's one living in a drain across the road from my house too

No we don't have basilisks in malaysia. They are native to South America .The lizard you caught is a garden fence agama (Calotes versicolor). It belongs to the same family as bearded dragons and butterfly lizards. Very nervous lizards, hard to keep in small cages and they need plenty of full sunlight to regulate their body metabolism.

very klakar his face!

the face looks ngong ngong dei one

I double confirm the calotes versicolor... the pic is a bit too blur but it really looks like it. And... ya... kind of stuff u don t wanna keep in a tank. They are far too jumpy. I bet it spend its time scratching the plastic and open its mouth when u approach it. Will be far too stress to survive long. It s a problem with most wild caught local agamids (calotes, gonocephalus etc...).
As for the basilisk... TAGGY!!!! U took my mountain pit viper for a hognose, a calotes for a "malaysian brown basilisk"... what's happening??? careful... if you catch a big snake in a drain near your house, no it's not gonna be a blue striped malaysian anaconda...
here is another chance for u! what is that???



anybody can post a suggestion... but first shot is for TAGGY!

Here are the clear pictures of the little guy.
Anyhow, I let it go last night.

Go and make a flyer that says there is a biawak there.... ask anyone who want a kenduri to go catch their own food. I reckon it will be gone very soon in a week time.

akkaka thank white lighter

or can call bomba to come catch it, they will take it away
