Striped (a.k.a Brown) Basilisk

[RVT1K]

Or possibly the Common Basilisk, I'm having some trouble trying to find enough info to figure out the difference.
No matter the species, they are known for running on their hind legs when startled and can even briefly run across the surface of water.

Nice shot! Seek identifies it as a Brown Basilisk.

Thanks.
I couldn't catch it running. But it was nice enough to pose with the light falling on its eye.
