Amber Basilisk

The Amber Basilisk is a subspecies that can be often found in the desert. They create huge burrows under the sand dunes and can go 
months without food and water. They use copper and other minerals to grow and they will shed their exoskeleton much like an insect. They of course eat meat to sustain their life source, but they can grow indefinitely and eat copper, bronze, and tin to grow. Many people capture these reptiles and control their size by their diet, there are pocket sized ones 100 years old, and there are ones the size of a small house 10 years old. Their lifespan is about 200 years max, but they very rarely meet in the wild and reach sexual maturity at 50 years. Their eggs are also a Fawl delicacy; all of these factors have caused the Amber Basilisk to be incredibly rare.
