Editing Plumed basilisk (section)

===Diet===
''B. plumifrons'' are an omnivorous species, their diet is inclusive of both meat and vegetation. While meat may be a stretch from their typical consumption, they choose to eat a large variety of insects and worms. While they are capable of consuming vegetation (such as fruits, seeds, flowers, and leaves), it is less sought out in the wild as opposed to captivity for the ''B. plumifrons''.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} While they do hunt smaller sized animals such as fish, small mammals (such as rodents), small birds, small nonvenomous snakes, smaller species of lizards, amphibians, and invertebrates (crustaceans, such as freshwater shrimp and crayfish, and spiders), they are most often found in search of insects for their diet.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}}

They typically consume brown crickets, black crickets, and locusts. In captivity, some owners choose to feed their ''B. plumifrons'' or green crested lizard wax worms, calciworms, cockroaches, mealworms, and beetle worms on occasion. This latter selection of worms, roaches, and beetles are not the best suitable for the ''B. plumifrons'' diet as they are found to be high in fat and can be difficult to digest for juvenile ''B. plumifrons''.{{sfnp|Cover|1986}}
