: Because he doesn't look to be over 31" or 24" for that matter. But then again it is hard to judge accurate lengths in a photograph and I'm assuming that that is a 16oz deli cup next to him, which has a 4" diameter. If he is that big that is very impressive. Our largest gila is a 21" female that weighed 1243g as she was being put into cold storage last month. I always thought that she was a BEAST because I had never seen one her size so I can't even imagine an additional 10" on top of that let alone the 36" that this person claims. WOW.

That pic. is over four months old, but Nick hasn't grown. If the lizards weren't "chilling out" I would take better images and weigh them to boot. The rubbermaid lid they're perched on is around 24". Sorry for the mistake, I always accuse others of exaggerating about the size of herps! If I was going to make such a claim, I shouldn't have offered a pic. LOL! He's still the biggest Gila I've seen. Not that I've seen as many as some of you LOL!

Andrew
