Interesting ... I was curious when I read you've done a basilisk. To my surprise this is not like anything I had in mind when thinking of that name...

It's still a nice and interesting model. The only probem I see are the attack animations: The slashing and especially the bite attack make the basilisk lean forward quite a bit giving it a sort of unexpected "range". The tail attack on the other side seems to be the exact opposite and I have to say that by the looks of the video it doesn't really seem to work out. It may be about the camera position but it looks like the tail hardly gets in front of the body giving it a minimalist attack range which especially in comparison with the other attacks looks a bit strange...
