Basilisks (genus Corytophanidae) live in Mexico and Central America, and as far south as western Colombia and Ecuador.

Mythology

The mythological basilisk commonly lives in deserts -- not because it prefers to, but because its gaze turns any landscape into sand. Basilisks can also be found in any dark, damp place, as dipicted in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, although the size may differ. The size of the basilisk affects its habitat, and as it grows expansively, the creature's home differs greatly.
