    I saw the air pocket on the rostrum of Anolis polylepis when I put it under the water in an aquarium, testing for Anolis aquaticus bubble formation on non-acuatics lizards. Then, I tried to do the same with a Basiliscus basiliscus, but the air pocket no appears. anoles do not wet their head and much of their trunk wet when submerged in water, but basilisks do get completely wet.
