Overcast Local Weather Features RockAthens Entertainment ... Web Design Story last updated at 9:36 p.m. on Wednesday, October 9, 2002 Gibbons: Gila monsters make the world interesting Life is fascinating, and the array of plants and animals that have been discovered is amazing. Animals have been found living in sunless depths of the sea, acquiring energy from volcanic vents in the ocean's bottom. Whit Gibbons more Gibbons columns Some plants are carnivorous, eating small animals; others elevate their own temperatures enough to melt a cover of snow. Or consider lizards, such as the Gila monster, with most of its U.S. geographic range in Arizona. The Gila (pronounced hee la) monster, our largest lizard, is one of only two venomous lizards in the world, the other being the closely related Mexican beaded lizard. In 1991 David E. Brown and Neil B. Carmony wrote a book called ''Gila Monster: Facts and Folklore of America's Aztec Lizard'' debunking much of the myth and foolishness that center around the species. Even biologists may have a few misconceptions about how dangerous they are. For example, I can find no confirmed record of a healthy, sober person dying from the bite of a Gila monster. Old newspaper articles give sensational, overstated accounts of deaths from the ''Boris Karloff of the desert,'' but on the basis of medical records and other evidence surrounding presumed lethal bites, death was often attributed to the victim's major intake of alcohol. In one confirmed report, a Gila monster was falsely accused for a death caused by a rattlesnake.

Gila Monster Heloderma suspoectum Beaded Lizard Heloderma horridum The Gila Monster is the biggest and only venomous lizard in North America. The Gila Monster and its larger Mexican cousin the Beaded Lizard are the only venomous lizards in the world. The Gila Monster is found in the southwestern U.S. deserts and northern Mexico, and the Beaded Lizard is found in western Mexico down into southern Guatemala. Both of these lizards have powerful jaws and can clamp down with a bulldog hold. Venom is released from glands in the lower jaw and flows through grooves in the back teeth and has to be chewed into the wound. The venom is a powerful nerve toxin, but most prey items are killed by the bite. Both lizards spend most of their time underground and are rarely seen. They display broken, bright, body color patterns that are difficult to see against the varying colors of the desert soils.

Coachella Valley Fringe-toed Lizard Lizards are reptiles of the order Squamata , usually four-legged, with external ear openings and movable eyelids. Species range in adult length from a few centimeters (some Caribbean and Hawaiian geckos ) to nearly three meters ( Komodo dragons Some lizard species such as " glass snakes " have no functional legs, though there are some vestigal skeletal leg structures. They are distinguished from true snakes by the presence of eyelids and ears. Many lizards can change color in response to their environments or in times of stress. The most familiar example is the chameleon , but more subtle color changes occur in other lizard species as well.

It is gaudily patterned and has brightly colored beadlike scales on its back. The gila lives on the ground and shelters under rocks or in a burrow, which it digs itself or takes over from another animal. It is primarily nocturnal but may emerge during the day in spring. The two members of the gila monster family are the only venomous lizards. The venom is produced in glands in the lower jaw and enters the mouth via grooved teeth at the front of the lower jaw; it flows into the victim as the lizard chews. The gila also eats the eggs of birds and reptiles. Gila monsters mate in the summer, and the female lays 3 to 5 eggs some time later, in the autumn or winter.

APPENDIX E POISONOUS LIZARDS Gila monster Heloderma suspectum Description: Robust, with a large head and a heavy tail. Its body is covered with beadlike scales. It is capable of storing fat against lean times when food is scarce. Its color is striking in rich blacks laced with yellow or pinkish scales. Characteristics: Not an aggressive lizard, but it is ready to defend itself when provoked. If approached too closely, it will turn toward the intruder with its mouth open. If it bites, it hangs on tenaciously and must be pried off. Its venom glands and grooved teeth are on its bottom jaw. Habitat: Found in arid areas, coming out at night or early morning hours in search of small rodents and bird eggs. During the heat of the day it stays under brush or rocks. Length: Average 30 centimeters, maximum 50 centimeters. Distribution: Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, northern Mexico, and extreme corner of southeast California. Mexican beaded lizard Heloderma horridum Description: Less colorful than its cousin, the gila monster. It has black or pale yellow bands or is entirely black. Characteristics: Very strong legs let this lizard crawl over rocks and dig burrows. It is short-tempered. It will turn and open its mouth in a threatening manner when molested. Its venom is hemotoxic and potentially dangerous to man.

Stewart Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Suborder: Lacertilia Family: Helodermatidae Genus Heloderma Species: Heloderma suspectum Table of Contents Geographic Range Physical Characteristics Natural History Food Habits ... References Geographic Range Nearctic : 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) Physical Characteristics The only poisonous lizard found in North America is the Gila monster. It is large and stout with a short fat tail (maximum length of 56 centimeters). Its scales are beaded yellow, pink, and black. The broad head, chin, and neck are black, as well as the legs and feet. The black eyes have a round pupil. The ear opening is a narrow oblique or ovoid slit. The limbs of the lizard are stout and have heavy claws. (Ernst, 1992) Natural History Food Habits The Gila monster's diet consists of a variety of objects: small mammals (young rabbits, mice and squirrels), birds, lizards, and eggs (of birds, lizards, snakes, turtles, and tortoises). The Gila monster has the capability to consume large amounts of food at one time (young can consume 50% of their body weight at a single feeding, adults can consume 35%). This is advantageous in an envirnoment in which finding prey at regular intervals may be difficult. Prey are rarely envenomated, which indicates that venom is used mainly for defense. Prey are detected by olfaction (the sense of smell). The Gila monster, like most snakes, uses its tongue for olfaction. (Ernst, 1992) (Bogert, 1956)

REPTILIA : SQUAMATA: HELODERMATIDAE: Heloderma Heloderma suspectum Cope Gila monster ("Gila" is pronounced "hee-lah") Range: Central Arizona south into nw. Mexico. Diagnosis: A chunky lizard with a short blunt tail, a body covered in bead-like scales, and possessing pale markings on the head. Tongue dark. Description: Natural History: Gila monsters are secretive, largely crepuscular animals that inhabit arid desert terrain. Though ungainly in appearance, they can swim and climb quite well. T his species is venomous and a bite should be treated by a professional physician. Reproduction: Lays eggs. This Gila monster was photographed in 1970. It was one of the animals studied by Charles Bogert as part of his monographic work on venomous lizards. This animal was still alive many years after Bogert retired. Photo by Robert Sprackland at the American Museum of Natural History. Variation: There is considerable variation in pattern. However, the two subspecies recognized differ in the amount of light pigment present. The northern Gila monster has more light coloring than its southern cousin. Additional Comments: Gila monsters have long been popular with zoo and terrarium keepers, in part because they are both large and easily tamed. However, the venom causes excruciating pain, and lizards hold on with a legendary "bulldog" grip. Gila monsters should only be handled with care, and then only by experienced reptile handlers.

Lizards Lizards Order: Squamata suborder: Lacertilia T he varied families of lizards are the most encountered reptiles in our area and compose the suborder Lacertilia , the largest group of the reptilian order Squamata . In general lizards have moveable eyelids, external ear openings and four legs; many can drop their tail as a means of escape and all but one genus are non-venomous. It is interesting to note that we have to opportunity to observe exceptions to each of the above rules in our area. Noteworthy exceptions include the California Legless Lizard Anniella pulchra , which has neither legs nor external ear openings, the Leaf-toed Gecko Phyllodactylus nocticolis which cannot blink as it lacks eyelids and must clear its eyes with its tongue as it scampers up vertical rock walls in the desert nights, and the mystical Gila Monster Heloderma suspectum , which is the least encountered and only venomous lizard in California.
