lo
i would of said that your male is a female if thats meant to be the male in the pic as well.
i have kept and bred basilisks and raised young to adulthood and all males even not so good ones have a sail of some kind on both the back and tail and also a double head sail whereas yours looks like a well developed female/
it would explain the lack of fertility.

Interesting theory Kev, has got me thinking. Although it has been seen to mount the smaller female, could it be a "hot" female ?
This would explain everything.
I am also now in doubt of the shop who sold me it as a male.
Barry Naylor, who did have Wild Things then another shop in Shipley, its not the first time he has given me false info, despite him being a breeder.
He got the sex wrong for the 2 carpets I have, should have been a pair, turned out 2 females, the skink and water pythons were also wrong.
Looks like its been the same case here.
Thanks for your input on this.

the mounting could be female dominance as basilisk females definately have a pecking order.
males should look more like
