Thanks for the ID... very cool animals, huh?

Yeah, they are pretty cool. They're related to gila monsters and I'm pretty sure they have venom, too.

As somebody else said, they were from a local exotic rescue - so no, she was NOT for sale! I also got a video of her, and just uploaded it to share (click to play). Poor thing didn't look happy to be there, but she was absolutely gorgeous...

Yeah, she looks pretty anxious. I'm amazed the convention center allowed her in.
