The Introduced Brown Basilisk (Basiliscus vittatus) in Florida.

IGUANA 13 (1): 25-30. März 2006.

Abstract:

The Brown Basilisk (Basiliscus vittatus Wiegmann 1828) is the only established representative of the family Corytophanidae in Florida. Until recently, the only reported populations of B. vittatus in the United States were in the south-eastern Florida peninsula from northern Miami-Dade County and adjacent Broward County to the north. Herein, we document likely modes of introduction of this species in Florida and illustrate range expansion as far south as Homestead in Miami-Dade County, as far north as St. Lucie County, and as far west as Collier County.
