	Adaptations to Herbivory in Iguanine Lizards
		Based on the literature and my own dissections of several hundred lizard species, [most] such forms [species names omitted] although often termed herbivorous in the literature are clearly not true herbivores.
		Thus colon modification (and the diversification and increase in the intestinal flora and fauna), these herbivores have been able to grow to larger sizes, and thus more fully gain other selective advantages, such as reduced predation, metabolic and thermoregulatory benefits.
		I believe that the iguanines, Uromastyx, Hydrosaurus and Corucia are much more specialized that generally realized.

		Similar to the information I've provided for the Hydrosaurus genus, branches of many diameters should be placed throughout the cage (vertically as well as horizontally), with even more branches available to them as compared to Hydrosaurus.
		Of course any live nontoxic insects can be fed from a poison free zone, such as large grasshoppers, locusts, cicadas, katydids, moths, stick insects, caterpillars, worms and possibly some clean feeder fish etc....there is also a chance that some species may eat other lizards, bird eggs, small birds, slugs, you name it.
		Both sexes legs are fairly thin and gangly as opposed to the Hydrosaurus lizards, whose legs make for some fine dining to those hungry enough to eat a lizard (so I’ve heard!).

	Sailfin Lizard
		In the Philippines today Hydrosaurus amboinensis are disappearing because lumber companies are taking away parts of the forest that the lizards use.
		The male lizards are combative and competitive towards other males when trying to court the females.
		Hydrosaurus amboinensis lives up to 15 or more years.

	Plumed basilisk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They take between eight and ten weeks to hatch, at which point the young emerge as fully independent lizards.
		This lizard is able to run short distances across water using both its feet and tail for support, an ability shared with the East Indian water lizard (Hydrosaurus amboinensis).
		In Costa Rica, this has earned the plumed basilisk the nickname "Jesus Christ lizard".

	Plasma cell tumor in an East Indian water lizard (Hydrosaurus amboinensis) -- Schmidt 13 (1): 47 -- Journal of Wildlife ...
		Plasma cell tumor in an East Indian water lizard (Hydrosaurus amboinensis)
		A neoplasm involving the stomach, liver and lungs was seen in an East Indian water lizard (Hydrosaurus ambionensis).
		The largest mass was in the stomach, with smaller nodules in the lung and liver.

		Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the behavioural repertoire of Philippine sail-finned lizards, with a particular focus on visitor levels and noise.
		The Philippine sail-fin lizard (Hydrosaurus pustulatus) is a notoriously difficult species to keep in captivity, with many anecdotal reports of abnormal behaviour (notably interacting with the glass boundaries of their enclosures) of which the origin is unconfirmed.
		This study uses observational methods to study the behaviour of two sub-adult sail-fins in Colchester Zoo and investigate its potential relationship with visitors: number of visitor, amount of time visitors present, noise levels and banging on the glass.

		He is a giant sailfin dragon, hydrosaurus amboinensis.
		When I bought him he was about 22 inches from snout to tail tip.
		Hydrosaurus amboinensis, while the largest, are also the least colorful of the sailfin dragon species.

		The Australia/New Guinea clade rafted with the Australia-New Guinea plate and forms the sister group to a southeast-Asian taxon that occurs on plates that broke from northern Australia-New Guinea.
		Other acrodont taxa are inferred to be associated with the plates of Afro-Arabia and Madagascar (Chamaeleonidae), India (Uromastyx), or southeast Asia (Hydrosaurus and Leiolepis).
		Introduction of different biotic elements to Asia via separate Gondwanan plates may be a major theme of Asian biogeography.

	Sail-fin lizard - Hydrosaurus pustulatus: More Information - ARKive
		The sail-fin lizard is endemic to the Philippines, where it is found throughout the islands except Palawan (3) (7).
		However, the taxonomic status and relationships within and between different Hydrosaurus species in the Philippines remain highly debated and require clarification (3).

		Due to the absence of development the area directly surrounding the lake has managed to preserve its pristine nature.
		The Sailfin water lizard (Hydrosaurus postulatus) is considered vulnerable, the Philippine duck Luzon bleeding heart, Indigo-banded and spotted-wood kingfisher, and the Rufous and Luzon tarictic hornbill are all considered near-threatened.
		Faunal species observed withing the lake include: Tilapia, Carpa, Plapla, Shrimp, Long-shelled and short-shelled snails, small and large water striders and various species of butterflies.

		For me too be 100% sure what you have I have to see a pic.It's possible that it could be one of the Basilisks, or one of the sailfin lizards,
		(hydrosaurus sp.) there a couple diffrent species of each.
		The green water dragon resembles almost all of them.

		This unusual habit of "walking on water" to escape predators and find food has earned the basilisk the name Jesûs Cristo lizard.
		The East Indian water lizard Hydrosaurus has the ability to walk on water like the basilisk does.
		This is an example of convergent evolution where two different species from different families, geographically separated, have adapted similarly to fit a vacant niche in nature.

		They range in size from tiny (14 mm snout-vent length in Amphibolurus microlepidotus) to quite large (145 cm total length in the water dragon Hydrosaurus amboinensis).
		Among their ranks are terrestrial, tropical forest dwellers; terrestrial desert dwellers; and semiaquatic forms that use water as a refuge.
		Leiolepis, Uromastyx); others have modified foot scales that allow them to run bipedally across the surface of water (Hydrosaurus).
