The Gila Monster ( Heloderma suspectum ) Captive Care and Breeding This article (slightly edited) appeared in the May/June 1998 issue of Reptile and Amphibian Magazine by Petra Spiess Rocky Mountain Herpetoculture The gila monster ( Heloderma suspectum ) is one reptile that comes with its own mythos. This species has been widely feared in the southwest, and as a consequence, many interesting (often hilarious) myths have sprung up concerning this species, including the idea that their very breath is toxic! Gila monsters are one of only two venomous lizards in the world, the other being the closely related beaded lizards ( Heloderma horridum ). As such, many states limit the keeping of this species, so check with local laws before purchasing captive bred gila monsters. Even persons not familiar with reptiles can positively identify a gila monster. Gila monsters are patterned in orange or yellow and black scales that have a "beaded" appearance. This species ranges in size from 9-14 inches (22-35 cm) (Stebbins, 1985). Gila monsters have tongues much like monitor lizards ( Varanus sp.) do, which are thick and forked. Gila monster venom is extremely potent, but this animal will not bite unless it is molested. Gila monster venom is delivered via grooves in the animal's teeth, and as such, gila monsters have to chew on their prey items to move the venom into the wound. Sufficed to say, should one ever be bitten by a gila monster, the first order of business is removing the animal. From all reports of gila monster bites, this can prove to be a rather arduous task. The best way to avoid gila monster bites in the wild is to NEVER pick one up. Gila monsters are a protected species in their home states, and there are severe penalties for anyone attempting to capture an animal for a pet or to sell.

Gila Monster Taxonomy
Order: Squamata
Family: Helodermatidae
Genus/species: Heloderma suspectum Description
The Gila monster is one of only two species of venomous lizards (i's cousin, the Mexican beaded lizard, is the other). It can bite quickly and hold on tenaciously. Rather than injecting venom through hollow fangs like venomous snakes do, Gilas have enlarged, grooved teeth in their lower jaw. When they bite, their powerful jaws chew the venom in through capillary action along the grooves in these teeth. Gila monster venom is about as toxic as that of a western diamondback rattlesnake. However, a relatively small amount of venom is introduced in a Gila bite. The dorsal coloration of the Gila monster is black with pink or orange. In the southern subspecies, the reticulated Gila monster, the light markings, or bands, are broken up to form a reticulated pattern. In the northern subspecies, the banded Gila monster, the light markings generally form an unbroken band across the back.

In order to help you to identify a California native lizard, the different species have been separated into some basic groups. Since many lizards look similar, they are grouped by type, rather than appearance. Look at the thumbnails and brief descriptions until you find something similar to the lizard you are trying to identify, then click on the link.
Keep in mind that many species look alike, and that there are other factors that can help you identify a lizard besides appearance, such as geographical location, behavior, and habitat. Juveniles often do not look exactly like adults. If you are trying to identify a juvenile, look at the body shape, and try to find a picture of an adult with a similar appearance, not necessarily the same colors or patterns.
Be aware that a lizard you find may not be native, but an introduced animal, such as an escaped pet, especially if it is found in an inhabited area. Currently there are few reproducing populations of introduced lizards in California, but that can change, and some of these populations, such as the Mediterranean gecko, are spreading.
The only dangerously venomous native lizard found in California is the Gila Monster, which is extremeley rare and has only been found in a few locations in the eastern Mojave Desert.

They survive on reservoirs of fat and water in their bodies. They must eventually surface to replenish their stores and reproduce. One of the first things they do is search for food. Gila monsters are expert nest raiders. But foraging for bird and desert tortoise eggs as well as newly born rabbits and desert rats is no easy task. DeNardo outfits his study animals with radio transmitters and temperature gauges. The technology helped him discover that Gila monsters solve this problem in some very clever ways. This portable water supply allows the lizards to roam far and wide without fear of dehydration. But, since water is heavy, Gila monsters will jettison their fluid burden when other sources are readily available in the wild. In the Sonoran Desert, for example, Gila monsters have a second peak of activity after the summer monsoons stimulate another spurt of breeding. This time, however, the animal's bladder is so empty it is nearly undetectable.

Geographic Range
The Gila monster ranges from the extreme southwestern Utah, southern Nevada, and adjacent San Bernadino County, California, southeastrward through west and south Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. It ranges south into Mexico through Sonora to northwestern Sinaloa. It ranges from sea level to 1,500 meters in altitude. (Ernst, 1992) Biogeographic Regions:

native
Habitat
The Gila monster can be found in arid areas. These areas usually contain scattered cacti, shrubs, mesquite, and grasses. Rocky slopes, arroyos, and canyon bottoms (mainly those with streams) support populations in Arizona. (Ernst, 1992) Terrestrial Biomes:

Gila Monster
Scientific Name: Heloderma suspectum (Class: Reptilia, Order: Squamata, Family: Helodermatidae) Location at the Zoo: Herpetarium
Physical Characteristics The Gila Monster ( Heloderma suspectum ) is one of two known venomous lizards, the other being the Mexican beaded lizard Heloderma horridum. It has a heavy cylindrical body covered with small, rounded, bead-like scales over the back and broader plates on its underside. Fat is stored in the short blunt tail. Adults vary from 12-14 inches in length and weigh 3-5 pounds. There are five toes on each foot with short sharp claws. Color ranges from pink to orange and the pattern of dark patches or bands varies from animal to animal. In one subspecies, the pattern changes with age and older animals are more reticulated. Habitat The Gila Monster seems to prefer an area which is wet enough to support shrub life. They prefer rocky foothills and desert scrub, but also occur in drier, sandier areas; they avoid open land or agricultural areas. They are nocturnal burrowing lizards and spend a lot of their time underground. They are predominately found in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Mexico.
Adaptations: Gila monsters have three adaptations that enhance their survival in their desert environment: First, they have large bodies, and can consume large amounts of food during a brief period. Second, they need to feed infrequently because they can store fat in their tails. Finally, their metabolic rate is low, so that they burn up their fat reservoirs slowly.

Support Organizations Poisonous lizards The Gila monster and the Mexican beaded lizard are two types of poisonous lizards found in North America. These large, thick-bodied lizards have short, stubby limbs. They live in desert regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Poisonous lizards do not generally bite unless they are handled. Lizards bite with teeth rather than fangs. Venom enters the bite wound by dripping down grooves in the teeth rather than being injected through fangs, as it is with poisonous snakes. Lizards tend to hang on to their victims, making them hard to remove once they have bitten. Dry bites, in which no venom is released, may occur. However, lizard bites are less likely to be dry than are snakebites. The force of the jaws of a lizard can cause a crushing, or compression, injury. These injuries can cause severe swelling and may damage underlying tissues, blood vessels, nerves, joints, or bones. The force may cause the skin to split open or scrape off. Tissue may be damaged either from the bite itself or from attempts to remove the lizard.

In June 1986 my brother Jon and I pulled out of Tucson for a road trip to Chamela, Jalisco, in the heart of Mexico's searingly hot tropical dry forest. It was no tourist trip. I was a graduate student, eager to begin the first intensive field study of the beaded lizard (Heloderma horridurn). I had my gear, my letters of permission, and four years of field experience observing the beaded lizard's sister species, the Gila monster (H. suspectum). Along with those essentials, my baggage also included a variety of assumptions about the creatures I was studying, assumptions drawn from my own limited experience and from the conventional wisdom about "monstersaurs," as the two species of Heloderma are known. I assumed, for instance, that Gila monsters are strictly creatures of daylight. The vast majority of monstersaur activity I had observed in southwestern Utah's Mojave Desert, the site of my previous work, had taken place during the day, particularly in the morning.

This Lizard Bites!
The Gila monster is one of only two venomous lizard species in the world. The venom is generally used to thwart an attacker (rather than to subdue prey, as in snakes). When Gila monsters bite, venom flows from glands in the lower jaw to the bottom teeth, which have grooves to carry the liquid to the victim's body. Ouch!
Beaded Body
Gila monsters are a type of beaded lizard, so called because of the bead-like scales covering their head and back. Gila monsters come in two distinct color patterns. Banded Gila monsters (the kind we have at the Saint Louis Zoo) have alternating pink and black bands across their body. (The other color pattern, that of the Reticulated Gila monster, is more mottled.) The Gila monster's coloring may serve as camouflage, or it may be a warning to potential predators. Gila monsters are fairly large lizards: adults can be more than 20 inches long, including the tail.

Gila Monsters (Heloderma suspectum) are one of the world's only venomous lizards. The other is the Mexican Beaded Lizard. These lizards feed on rodents and the eggs of ground-nesting birds. They prowl around at dusk and after dark to escape the heat of the day. Gila Monsters are from 18 to 24 inches long. The word Gila is pronounced hee-la. The name comes from the location where it was first found, the Gila River of Arizona. This lizard has a stout body and beadlike scales. Its colors are black and yellow-orange or pink. The Gila is a slow mover but if bothered it can turn and snap quickly. It is best left alone. Once it bites it hangs on with great strength, its venom flowing from glands in the lower jaw. The venom is used against enemies and is not generally a food-getting mechanism. Its venom is as potent as that of a rattlesnake. It has no known natural enemies.

Gila Monster
There are only two venomous lizards in the world, and both live in the Southwest; the Gila Monster and the Mexican beaded lizard. The shy Gila Monster is one of seven reptiles species protected by Arizona law since 1952. They are the surviving members of an ancient beaded lizard family, distinguished by their colorful beaded skins. Both species live in Sonora, Mexico, but only the Gila Monster can be found in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts. Seldom seen, these unusual creatures are living fossils, honored by primitive man, and if not carefully guarded doomed by civilized man. Stores food in tail Gila Monsters are large lizards with stout bodies, big heads, powerful jaws, and short, sturdy digging legs. They have big feet with large toes and long, strong claws. Gila Monsters grow to nearly two feet and have a black snout, short sausage-shaped tail and black tongue. Their body colors vary from black to coral pink to black with orange, yellow with cream. Fat for future energy and metabolic water is stored in the tail as well as in the abdominal body. A well-fed Gila Monster does not have to drink water and seldom does. Its prey serves as its sole source of food as well as water. Impressive appetite Young Gila Monsters can consume more than 50 percent of their body weight in a single feeding, and adults, about 35 percent. Gila Monsters like eggs, and they consume large quantities of
