My new babies...

[Sean : EbN]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to post about my new babies I just got yesterday. GILAS! Yaaahhhh! Been wanting these for like 15 years! I got 6 babies from a friend that breeds them yesterday. They are like 7-8 inches long and hatched in November. They are SOOOOOOO MEAN! HAHA

Congratulations on your new mean lizards! They are awfully pretty!

Very nice, definitely an animal I have on my list to own someday.

wow, what great pictures! beautiful animals.. what are they? (wow, that sounded incredibly dumb please forgive my ignorance)

dang man, how much were they?

[BrucenBruce]

Ashley, they're Gila Monsters from the SouthWestern USA. Rear-fanged, they're one of only two species of vemomous lizards - the other is the Mexican Beaded Lizard.

Rear-fanged

Gila Monsters dont have fangs, they have grooves in their teeth on the lower jaw that allows the venom to flow into the wound.

Awww look Sean, in this picture he wants to give you a big old gila kiss!

That last pic is too cute... What kind of damage can Gila venom do if you are bitten?

Congrats Sean. Those are awesome animals, but holy cow look at those claws! Who gets the lucky assignment of trimming those bad boys?
