Product details
One of the most distinctive features of this lizard is the crest or feather that males have on their head, back and tail, which gives them an impressive and majestic appearance. These crests are used in courtship displays and to intimidate potential rivals or predators. Females, while lacking the pronounced crests of males, also have a slender body and a great ability to move quickly.
Basiliscus plumifrons is primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of insects, although it also consumes fruits, small vertebrates, and flowers. Its ability to hunt and move between trees and the ground makes it an opportunistic predator. This lizard is semi-arboreal, meaning it spends much of its time in the trees, but comes down to the ground frequently to feed or escape threats.
The highlight of this species is its ability to "run" on water, which it achieves thanks to its long, muscular hind legs, which are equipped with special scales that spread out when they run, creating a larger surface area that allows them to stay afloat. This behaviour is primarily used as an escape tactic to flee from predators, and although the basilisk can only run on water for a few metres before sinking, its speed and lightness allow it to gain a considerable advantage.
The Basiliscus plumifrons inhabits near bodies of water, such as rivers and streams in the rainforest, where the warm, humid environment is ideal for its lifestyle. However, although it is not considered an endangered species, the destruction of its natural habitat due to deforestation and human expansion may pose a long-term threat. Adapted to life both in water and in trees, the green basilisk is a fascinating example of the evolutionary adaptations that allow a species to survive in complex and challenging environments.

Information about aftershocks
Collector's item ; Hyper-realistic replica, highly detailed and with a high degree of scientific precision.
Made to scale, prototyped in resin and with a scenic base in most of the models offered. If you like miniatures, both for collecting and for painting, we offer you a wide variety of scale replicas; All of them related to dinosaurs, extinct prehistoric fauna and current fauna.
So if you love dinosaurs and animals as much as we do, this is your favorite store to collect and paint them :)
We are authorized distributors of all the replicas and figures we offer. We use 3D printers with 8K - 14K resolution, and high-quality resins with additives to improve hardness and flexibility, thus offering replicas of impeccable quality.
Different scales will be used to make the replicas (depending on the size of the species), although we are open to making other suggested scales upon request as long as they fit in our printing trays, for which you will have to contact us via email and request the required size.
Replicas are supplied with the option of airbrush priming in dark grey. If you require another colour, please let us know which one you prefer in the box with special instructions for the seller. Without priming, we do not guarantee that the resin will accept paint.
We also offer the option of choosing a professionally painted replica, which is agreed upon throughout its development with the painter, through a private chat available.
Complete replica (one piece): We supply complete replicas in those models that are small, and models that are medium, large or not very bulky, will have the prerogative of being presented as a complete replica or assembly kit as the case may be.
Complete replicas will be supplied separately from their base.
Replica assembly kit: We supply replicas whose models are large, very large or bulky, only with this option.
The indicated replicas (generally composed of base, head, body and tail) will come prepared for the subsequent assembly that will be required by the client, by sanding, putty, adhesive or technique chosen by the client.
All replicas are thoroughly inspected before shipping and will be carefully packaged to prevent damage during transport.
Information about the models
The poses of the models aim to represent each character in the most scientifically viable way, thus revealing the life and customs of prehistoric and modern fauna.
Each character has its own personality and develops in different life scenarios; birth, adolescence and play, hunting, feeding, fighting, courtship, death and many other scenes from their daily life, always from the creative perspective of their designers.
Handmade
All orders are individually prepared on the cutter for subsequent prototyping, obtaining a resin part that will require post-processing by manual and ultrasonic cleaning, support removal, ultraviolet curing, labeling and packaging.
We are authorized distributors
We offer both our own physical replicas and those that have been modeled by many of the best 3D designers, in order to offer you the greatest possible variety.
