62. Lizards - More Detail
    Some of the larger lizards like the gila Monster are carnivores. The gilamonster and the beaded lizard are the only poisonous lizards.  
    http://www.eduscapes.com/nature/lizard/index2.htm
    
    Extractions: Lizards Many people think lizards only live in the desert. However, lizards are found almost everywhere around the world. There are almost 3,800 species worldwide. Over 110 kinds can be found in the United States. Lizards including iguanas, monitors, geckos, and horned lizards are the most common and fascinating reptile. In some areas of the US, people mistake lizards for salamanders. Salamanders and lizards are not related. Salamanders are amphibians like frogs. Lizards and snakes are closely related. Eastern Collared Lizard Size: The largest lizard is the Komodo monitor. It can grow to be over 10 feet long (3 meters). It can weigh nearly 300 pounds. The smallest lizard is a tiny gecko. Characteristics: Most lizards have dry, scaly skin, four legs, clawed feet, external ear openings, and a long tail. Lizards have a fragile, detachable tail. Many species have a weak point in their a tail. A slight tug or bump can be all that's needed to break it off. The thrashing tail distracts the predator. In some lizards, brightly colored tails increase the chance of losing a tail rather than losing a life. However, not all lizards lose their tails easily. For example, the collared lizard (above), has a sturdy tail that is rarely lost. Lizard tails help in balance and locomotion. Tails are also part of the social status and an area for fat storage. Losing the tail can be a serious problem for a lizard. If they live long enough, some lizards can grow back their tail.

    It is a subspecies of the gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum), Collectors forthe pet trade can only catch a certain amount of lizards and need permits  
    http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/banded_gila_monster.htm
    
    Extractions: Species : suspectum cinetum The Banded Gila Monster is very shy but can strike back very quickly, with painful results. It is a subspecies of the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum), and is one of two poisonous types of lizard in the world. They are pink, orange and red. Four or five black bands with spots in them run around the body. The tail is also banded. Their heads are spotted with black around their eyes and mouth. Their patterns are really amazing because their colors send out a warning to any predators that they are poisonous. The Banded Gila Monster can get to be 2 feet long and can weigh up to 3 pounds. They have a big head, fat body, and a thick, short tail. They have short legs with average sized claws for a lizard of its size. Its skin is dry because it lives in the desert and can't afford to lose fluids. The texture is bumpy. The gila monster hunts at day, but is hardly ever seen by people because it is so shy. The Banded Gila Monster is mainly found in the Mojave Desert. It is named for the Gila River Basin which is found in the southwestern United States

69. Sonoran Lizards
    The wellknown gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) is one of two living venomouslizards. gila monsters spend about 98% of their lives underground.  
    http://www.tortolita.com/Nature/LIZARDS.HTML
    
    Extractions: LOTS OF LIZARDS In the Sonoran Desert, lizards are particularly conspicuous to the casual observer because so many are diurnally active. Most species are carnivorous and the majority are important consumers of insects. A few, like the common collared lizard ( Crotaphytus collaris ) eat other vertebrates, including their own young. Like the desert spiny lizard ( Sceloporus magister ), they are occasionally omnivorous, eating blossoms and buds in the spring. Few are primarily plant eaters like the common chuckwalla ( Sauromalus obesus ) and desert iguana ( Dipsosaurus dorsalis ). In both species, the young are well-known to eat insects while the adults are chiefly or exclusively herbivorous. The well-known Gila monster ( Heloderma suspectum ) is one of two living venomous lizards. It is a predatory scavenger specializing in the eggs and helpless young of reptiles, birds, and small mammals. Its brief surface sojourns from subterranean retreats occur mainly in April and May, the best seasonal window for activity requiring moderate daytime temperatures and reaping an energy bonanza from the spring bounty of eggs and nestlings.

    Extractions: Status: Protected in all states in which they are found The colorful, beadlike skin of this reptile is great camouflage in the desert. The Gila monster is a carnivore, eating small mammals, frogs, insects, birds and eggs. Its claws are used for digging burrows and for digging out other animals' eggs. This lizard was named for the Gila River Basin in the southwestern United States. The Gila monster is solitary and mostly nocturnal, spending most of its time in a burrow or under a rock away from the hot sun. The Gila monster becomes dormant during the winter and can live for months without food, living off fat stores in its tail. Its life span is about 20 years. In late summer, the female lays three to 13 oval shaped, leathery eggs. She buries the eggs and when the sun heats the sand, the sand heats the eggs. In about 117-130 days, the eggs hatch, and the four-inch long hatchlings emerge.

Comments Gila Monsters by Luke The Gila Monster is one of only two poisonous lizards in the world! The only other poisonous lizard is the Mexican Beaded Lizard, but I'm going to just concentrate on the Gila Monster. My animal's name is the Gila Monster (pronounced Hee-la). It belongs to a group called the reptiles . It definitely doesn't breathe through gills! It breathes through its lungs. Its scientific name is Heloderma suspectum . It doesn't have a nickname, and it's cold-blooded. Its young are born from an egg. It can't swim because its food is where it lives and there's not much water there. The Mexican beaded lizard is closely related to the Gila Monster. Most Gila Monsters have lots of patterns on their backs. The color pattern is black with yellow, orange or pink spots. It is covered in scales, just because most reptiles have scales. They usually grow to about two to three feet, and weigh up to about two to three pounds. Ten to twelve eggs are hatched at a time. It's approximate life span is twenty years. The Gila Monster lives in South Western United States. States such as, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. This animal the Gila Monster lives in the desert. Well, actually any hot, dry, dark, sandy places.
