"I don't understand." He replied, shaking his head. "How could this be true? The earthen basilisk had been consuming deer and gazelles voraciously for nearly a month now. If it had been reproducing every time it went on a hunting spree, then the Shaia Plains would noticeably be flooded with many earthen basilisks."

How could this revelation possibly be true. Rui would absolutely have noticed if there were hundreds of earthen basilisks running around beneath the ground.

"It reproduces by laying eggs." She stated. "The eggs have a gestation period that is unknown unfortunately. It could be a day, a week or even a month. Furthermore, the earthen basilisk hatchlings don't immediately turn into full grown adults either. The immediate danger here is not their current destructive potential, but their future destructive potential as well as their extreme elusiveness and migrative capacity."
