Gila Monster in Garage

My friend Candace found this in her garage in Tuscon.
I want one so bad. I told my wife next time she finds one to call me and I will help relocate this handsome fellow for her. Her husband wouldn't go near him(LOL). I would be so happy to find one in my garage thats for sure!

Coooooool.....

That would be one cool find!!! I want one one day!:D

That would be so cool to see in my garage...

Gilas ROCK! Lucky find!:gj:

Wow, how cool is that?! Did Candace keep it or set it free?

how did they remove it? i believe it is highly illegal to "harass" these guys in anyway in AZ.

I am not sure if highly illegal is the word I would use it appears to be a Misdemeanor and a fine.

I think you need a permit to own one in California.

They are gorgeous animals tho...

Very cool!! :cool:

I have family near Phoenix Arizona and all I ever see are orange trees, quail, and jack rabbits.

She just chased it out of the garage.

I live in Phoenix, Az and am a member of the Arizona Herpetological Association. I also volunteer for the reptile rescue hotline. I have been fortunate enough to go on several Gila calls. It never gets old finding one of these, even if it is in someone's back yard. I also deal with plenty of rattlesnakes and "eight foot gopher snakes".

Yes highly illegal would be the word for even touching it. Your looking at over a thousand dollars in fines when you lay a fingure on it.

Maybe you and I have a different idea of highly illegal.

That's awesome! I lived in Tucson for years and never found anything that cool on my properties! :P
