The western basilisk is common and not threatened. The throat is white to yellow. On the back it has a small crest similar to that of young individuals of the common basilisk.
It may have a narrow white stripe or a row of white dots on each side. It has no back flap.
The western basilisk has been introduced to Gorgona Island, Colombia. This species is not native to the island, and thus, is endangering native species that reside on the island, such as the endemic blue anole Anolis gorgonae.
