Re: New Gila Monster and info
Fantastic additions to your collection both the male and female heloderma. Congrats. Were they from the collection of Steve and Karen Osborne in California?
 Stay in peace and not pieces.

Ducky came from breeders that were originally produced by Steve if I recall correctly. Chomper my adult male came from colorado if I recall correctly but was purchased as an adult from a friend who has a breeding colony

Re: New Gila Monster and info
Wow! Such beauties! I would love to have a gila but I worry about my wanting to hold them. I had the honor of meeting a couple at an expo. Snake master had one on his show and I instantly fell in love.

Re: New Gila Monster and info
They are pretty good about being held. Using a lot of safety precautions can go a long ways with them. I use a hook to get under their hides and one gloved hand to do the capturing. From there I can hold them bare handed. Even ducky now as she's gotten even bigger and her confidence is high. They are such fascinating species and a joy to work with.

Up to hoppers. She was shy so I had to put her back in the enclosure to finish.
