Have you ever seen a Jesus Lizard?

I have a Green Basilisk, also known as the Jesus Lizard. They're called that because they run on water, as explained here:

"The Basilisk lizard makes use of the high surface tension of water to accomplish the incredible feat of walking on water's surface. The Basilisk can't actually walk on water; rather, it runs on water, moving its feet before they break through the surface."

I don't have a pic of Audrey, but this is what she looks like. She can submerge for up to 1/2 hour! Her favorite thing to do is hide in her pool and pop up right when Mommy gets next to the cage.

1. I had hoped you meant the band Jesus Lizard

Great band. Singer David Yow would sometimes knock himself unconscious during live sets.

5. What a cool pet

I have always loved reptiles but I'm afraid my cats would get at them if I had them in the house. I live in the desert and we have them outside. Very diferent than yours though, will rarely see enough water to walk on.
