Commentary

Golden Reptiles give you 10x the gold that a normal reptile would, so seeing more of them is never a bad thing - plus your queens like to run along a carpet of gold! While we're here, as a reminder Golden Reptiles have their own mutation that increases their gold (Violet Tipped Pincers) - the "normal reptile" gold that they are based off is not impacted by the normal reptile gold mutation (Cerulean Walkers). See this article for more information on reptile gold drops.
