Portrait of a reddish orange, black, and cream colored gila monster with a beach background with mountains on the horizon and sparse clouds in the sky. They have a bit of a flirty smile on their face as they flick out their thick and purple forked tongue towards the viewer.

A #BobHope clip that amused me.

From the #movie #AliasJesseJames 1959

Amazing gila monster mural in downtown Phoenix. I'm here for the Entomological Society conference! #EntSoc24 #GilaMonster #mural #arizona

I've been telling people on the trip "I really want to find or at least see a Gila monster! This morning, the first formal documentation day, on the drive up, the people in the lead vehicle found one right in the 4WD road!

They deliver an **extremely** painful bite. They don't inject venom like rattlesnakes, but latch on and chew saliva into your skin.

A large gila monster, a type of lizard with hard round bumps on the skin that look like intricate beadwork, being held firmly while I reach out my hand to feel the texture. The beaded skin has pale orange, irregular patches in a dark background.

Our Desert Senna seems to love our hot Tucson, AZ weather & has been blooming almost continuously since late May, despite temps over 100°F.! Here's my Perpetual Journal art of it & a Gila Monster I saw the same week in 2023!
