I caught this gila monster in the wilds of Florida, where they have been known to be considered a transplanted species, and have at times successfully reproduced.

Now these Florida gilas are far more impressive than those from say Utah, where only the measily little weak gilas reign.

Notice how robust (or fat) and healthy these Florida gilas are. Must be the better eating. None of that 2 or 3 meals a year. No not here in Florida land of the all you can eat buffet.

Ha Ha just messing with you Kerry. This is that little porker of a gila at 7 months of age and just over 300gr and over 12 inches long.

Maybe not quite as nice looking as when it was hatched but I still like it.
