Gila monsters (Heloderma suspectum), like their cousins the Mexican beaded lizards (Heloderma horridum), are venomous lizards. As such, they are some of the most famous, and the most feared lizards on the planet. They can't possibly be good pets. Right? Clint explores these beautiful, notorious, dangerous lizards to determine if these beautiful lizards deserve their notoriety for being dangerous, and if the Gila monster is the best pet lizard for you.

As a native Arizonan, I’ve had the privilege of seeing a Gila monster only once - my biology professor specialized in reptiles (she maintained a collection of rattlesnakes on display on campus and is actually one of a handful of people in the Phoenix metro area who had a fridge of antivenin on hand for when people got bit by venomous reptiles), and one day I came into class to see her holding a dehydrated juvenile Gila monster that had been found by a construction crew. It was so amazing to witness, so brightly colored, scales of brilliant tangerine and shiny black. Edit: Apparently they love eggs, so if you’re ever hiking in the Sonoran desert at dawn or dusk you can crack some chicken eggs and return a while later and there’s a chance you’ll see one!

I highly doubt you could use an egg to find one. You are far more likely to find one by going on a hike during the early AM. They really only come out of the burrow in spring so it’s hard to find them other times of year.

Sounds like honestly the one my cousin had. His mother got it from a sketchy "pet store" and said it was some other lizard. No idea what it was or how old Iggy was when we got them but Iggy was not impressed by 6 children constantly checking on them for 10 years. We had no idea what Iggy even was for 2 years until my uncle had a friend come over and asked if it was his reptile then looked like he laid and egg when he was told it was my 9 year old cousins lizard and just casually holding him like a cat.

Not only am I discovering animals that I've never heard of before, but I am learning about the biology of reptiles and their optimum environmental conditions. I've recommended this channel to a student of mine who is into reptiles, he started watching it over the lockdown period and told me he loved it. Would be awesome if we could have a video specifically on adaptations - like what the word means and a few examples using different reptiles. I would love to use something like that in my lessons to grab their attention around the topic being taught and also show them how being a scientist (Like Clint) isn't all about lab coats but can also be plenty of fun!

Your love and joy for reptiles can really brighten up my day no matter what! I like Mexican Beaded Lizards so seeing you cover the Gila Monster is cool! One final note is I am still so THANKFUL you covered the Cuviers Dwarf Caiman I was so excited for that!

I feel like your videos are just getting better and better. Keep up the good work. Absolutely love it. Also best line of 2020: “If you can love something that everyone fears it changes you.” Amen to that. ❤️

Thank you Clint for putting this video out. I was hoping someone would do one on these lizards.

@Madchris8828 3 года назад

This is an absolutely beautiful creature. And I'm happy to hear their bite isn't as deadly as I thought. Nice to hear and dispel the myth.

@johnrichards244 2 года назад

I have heard three of my friends in Arizona brag about the bite being no big deal. Two of them did get bitten. After the monster finally let go they had a bad rest of their day. But I love them too

i had never seen a gila monster skull before, had to do a double take! my state actually allows the ownership of these guys but if i ever plan on getting one i will probably get a blue tongue first just so i have a feel for their care requirements

Uh Not all Neurotoxic venoms are non damaging. Kraits will screw up both you pre synaptic and post synaptic nerve endings. Not something you would want. That being said Gila Monsters would probably not kill you unless you are allergic to their venom. But it should be noted ones I have messed with each have their own personalities so one maybe really laid back other might be snappy as hell.

This channel gives off the same energy as SBSK but for reptiles and I love it. Clint is one of the new holy trinity of wholesomeness

@boovaher 3 года назад

The sheer excitement and enthusiasm in this video had me smiling all the way through. Now I want a Venom Potato too ! Thank you Clint.

Clint. I have been keeping reptiles of all types (including avian) for over 40 years, and love your shows! About 20 ya, I raised a baby pigeon and fell in love with those birds. It was affectionate and "smart." Have you considered an episode on pigeons? There is so much to show and talk about that could dispel the common myths that they are dirty or disgusting and if you haven't considered them, they might just be the best pet avian reptile for you!

Gila monsters have been floating around in my head for a day or two and I finally remembered to look up a video and I knew I had to watch yours. I forgot how pleasant and kind gila monsters are.

@EmmyDragom57 3 года назад

Hi Clint! I'd love to see a video on Schnider's skinks. I did a project with them in college, and found they were very intelligent and personable. They were eating out of our hands by the end of the experiment! I know you love skinks (you have great taste), so I'd love to see you cover one of my favorite species. Thank you for making awesome content and sharing your love of nature with us!

I live in southern AZ and many lizards, snakes, & tortoises have visited my yard ... except for the elusive Gila monster. The Sonoran Desert is a great place to live for reptile lovers but, even for a native, encountering a Gila monster is a crowning achievement. Especially getting to *hold* one. So rad!

@clown454 3 года назад

He just seems so happy and excited holding it. I love that!

I have watched every video on this channel, almost.. I love your energy and I love how I've seen you handle what I'd consider monsters (In appearance, like the centipede) but seeing you as nervous as you appear to be around snakes.. Makes you so human. Please never go away.

@Johnnythefirst 3 года назад

It has cute little suspicious eyes. Never noticed that. :D

@catpoke9557 3 года назад

Thanks for doing this! All other sources I can find say they're not good pets, simply because they're venomous and not always legal. But in my opinion, if it's legal and you don't mind the risk of pain, who's to say it's a bad pet?

@EzraM5 3 года назад

Oh I absolutely adore Gila monsters. My older sister used to catch these back when we lived out in the desert in Arizona.

We had a Gila Monster when I was in college. His name was Georgio, and he was captured in a backyard when we were at a party. The homeowner was going to kill it because they were told they were terrible monsters and lethal, and it was at a time when pest control couldn't come. We thought that it would be best to capture it for them, so I grabbed it and put it in a paint bucket. We ended up sticking him in a tank and then upgraded his home to a pretty large enclosure. He was pretty chill unless you messed with him, always ate happily and was beautiful to look at. Super cool animals, I loved him, but not the best pet if you want a lot of interaction with your pet. They aren't flexible and can't really turn on you, but I will say he's sort of underplaying the pain of being bitten. My buddy was grabbed by one on the finger and he said the pain was by far the worst he'd ever felt, and he had been stabbed twice. I'd gladly let a truck run over my foot over gila bite. I'd totally own one again though
