   Extractions: An extract from my Little Book of Monitor Lizards As the monitors spread across the Earth experiencing different habitats and climates they diversified. Over many millions of years this process has resulted in the emergence of at least seventy or eighty (probably many thousands of) species. Some of them appeared to have died out quickly, whilst other, apparently ancient, species have survived until the present. Many monitor lizards appear to have evolved comparatively recently. It would be nice to know where the monitor lizards first came from, what the early species looked like, how they behaved and why they died out. According to the available evidence monitor lizards and their close relatives the heloderms (Gila lizards) and lanthonotids (earless monitors) probably originated in northern Asia at least 90 million years ago (Pregill et al 1986). At this time the reign of the dinosaurs was coming to an end and flowers had begun to cover the Earth. The oldest monitor lizards known are from Mongolia: Telmasaurus grangeri, Saniwides mongoliensis and Estesia mongoliensis. All of them must have been quite similar to modern monitor lizards in appearance, but the latter possessed grooved teeth which probably transmitted venom in the same manner as modern-day Gila monsters (Pregill et al 1986, Norell et al 1992). The exact relationship between these lizards and the modern heloderms and varanids is not clear.

4. Gila Monster Skull - Heloderma Suspectrum Replica

   Extractions: GILA MONSTER SKULL Heloderma suspectum Replica This replica skull of a Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum) is cast from a large old specimen with excellent teeth and epidermal knobs. The jaws have a powerful persistent grip, and the venom is not injected like that of a rattlesnake (through hollow fangs), but flows from glands along their lower jaws and comes out through grooves in their large teeth. The lizard must chew the venom into its victim. Drop for drop, a Gila's venom is more deadly than a rattlesnake's; it attacks the nerves and causes horrible pain and paralysis. Luckily, the monster rarely injects enough venom to kill a person. You're never going to meet one, so you'll never get bitten. Gila monsters like to eat birds' eggs and baby birds. They break the eggs and then lap up the liquid inside. They swallow solid food whole. Gila lizards rely on taste and smell to track their prey and while hunting may be seen tasting the ground with their thick tongues. Skull size: 3" long, 2.5" wide. Limited quantities, a very popular item.

   Extractions: LOTS OF LIZARDS In the Sonoran Desert, lizards are particularly conspicuous to the casual observer because so many are diurnally active. Most species are carnivorous and the majority are important consumers of insects. A few, like the common collared lizard ( Crotaphytus collaris ) eat other vertebrates, including their own young. Like the desert spiny lizard ( Sceloporus magister ), they are occasionally omnivorous, eating blossoms and buds in the spring. Few are primarily plant eaters like the common chuckwalla ( Sauromalus obesus ) and desert iguana ( Dipsosaurus dorsalis ). In both species, the young are well-known to eat insects while the adults are chiefly or exclusively herbivorous. The well-known Gila monster ( Heloderma suspectum ) is one of two living venomous lizards. It is a predatory scavenger specializing in the eggs and helpless young of reptiles, birds, and small mammals. Its brief surface sojourns from subterranean retreats occur mainly in April and May, the best seasonal window for activity requiring moderate daytime temperatures and reaping an energy bonanza from the spring bounty of eggs and nestlings.

   Extractions: Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum) The distribution of the species' ranges are the southwestern U.S. and the western coast of Mexico. The U.S. species is Heloderma suspectum Heloderma suspectum inhabits arid to semi arid deserts. Its body is heavily built and cylindrical in shape. Its head is broad and flat with a blunt round nose. Its tail is thick and round. Its scales are very beadlike on its back, sides, head, and tail. It is black and "pinkish" in color. Heloderma suspectum and Heloderma horridum are the only known venomous lizards. The venom glands are located at the posterior edge of the lower jaw. The venom reaches the teeth via a groove between the jaw and lip. The fangs are grooved in the front and, usually, also toward the back. Some upper jaw teeth also have grooves. The teeth are located deep in the gums. The gums are pushed back during a bite. This enables the teeth to penetrate 9-10mm deep into the target. The lizards must chew as they bite in order to inject the venom. The venom affects mainly the central nervous system. The venom can paralyze the respiratory system and, in this way, be lethal. In the wild, these lizards escape the worst of the desert heat by remaining in their burrows during the day. At dusk and part of the night they may be seen in bushy areas or crossing highways. As they crawl, they constantly flick out their forked tongue to pick up scents. The lizard will transmit the scents with its tongue to paired orifices in the roof of its mouth. The scents are used to identify food.

Mojave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts of extreme southwestern Utah, southern Nevada, southeastern California, western Arizona and southwestern New Mexico into Mexico. Desert and semiarid regions of gravelly and sandy soils with shrubs. Found under rocks, in burrows of other animals and in holes it digs itself. During warm weather the Gila Monster feeds at night on small mammals, birds and eggs. Fat stored in the tail and abdomen during this period is utilized during the winter months. Both species of Heloderma are sluggish in habit, but they have a strong, tenacious bite. Gila Monsters mate throughout the summer months, with the female laying 3 to 5 eggs in sandy soils, burrows or under rocks, during fall or winter. The Gila Monster is a stout-bodied lizard that grows 18 to 24 inches in length. It has black, orange, pink or yellow broken blotches, bars and spots, with bands extending onto its blunt tail. Its face is black, and it has small, bead-like scales across its back. It is named for the Gila River Basin of the southwestern United States. The Gila Monster is one of only two species of venomous lizards; both are of the family

9. Tails Of Gila Monsters And Beaded Lizards
   Tails of gila Monsters and Beaded lizards By Robert Applegate PO Box 338 Campo, CA 91906 (619) 4785123 Email applesnake1@juno.com. INTRODUCTION.

   Extractions: Email: applesnake1@juno.com INTRODUCTION The beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum) has never reproduced successfully in captivity! The Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum) My personal involvement with the Heloderma dates back over 20 years when I was dealing in reptiles commercially and they were one of the commodities I bought and sold. When I heard that California planned to protect Gilas, I selected a few to use for my school lectures, obtained legal permits for them, and sold the rest. I had no interest in breeding them at that time. My current colony of beaded lizards were acquired in 1987 and 1988. ENCLOSURES Heloderma are easy to keep. My adults are in cages with a floor area measuring 1.5 x 3 ft, or 3 x 3 ft. The enclosures are either 1.5 or 2 ft high. Over the years I have tried almost every form of substrate, including sand, gravel, newspaper, ground corn cobs, indoor-outdoor carpet, wood shavings, and wood chips. They all work. Heloderma are messy animals, so keeping them dry and clean are the major objectives. You want enough substrate material to absorb the moisture of the feces until you can clean, but not so much that you cannot find the feces or any uneaten food item. I provide water bowls large enough to hold the cage occupants without over flowing. I always keep a water bowl in the cage with the adults, but except for this, I keep the cages as dry as possible. I have observed lizards soaking even at 10°C in the winter. I also provide a hide box, usually cardboard boxes which I discard when they are badly soiled.

    Extractions: Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards (escorpion) Published in the English Version of the Spanish Herp Magazine "Reptilia" Volume 7 (June 1999) The horrible suspicious venomous lizards of the new world. A rough translation from latin of the word Heloderma would be stud or decorative nail skin. Horridum would be frightful or horrible, and suspectum would be suspicious or distrusted. With scientific names like these, it is no wonder that the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum) and its southern cousin the Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum) have inspired superstitions, legends, fears and intrigue. It has been believed that their breath was poisoness, that a nursing mother would lose her milk if a Gila Monster crossed her path, and if stepped on sores would develope all over the unfortunate persons body. There are many stories, legends, etc., in American Indian folklore involving the Gila Monster. The Gila Monster is found in the USA, southwestern states of Arizona, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and a small part of California. It ranges into Mexico south of Arizona down the Mexican West Coast until it meets and overlaps the range of the Beaded Lizard which continues south to Guatamala. There are no known intergrades where the two species overlap. Although locally scarce where human population has reduced their numbers, it is still common to see either in the more remote areas in their range. I have seen both crossing roads at night, but there is a seasonal varience in time of activity. Some recent research indicates Gila Monsters spend over 90% of their time underground.

A full grown Gila Monster measures between 18 and 24 inches and has a very thick tail, especially at the base. Its face is black, but the rest of the lizard is beautifully colored with pink, yellow, orange, or red accents over bead-like, rounded scales. The color is seen as bands, spots, or blotches over the basic black coloration and may extend onto the tail. Usually the tail has thick black bands. The Gila Monster's teeth have grooves that help to conduct the poison that it exudes from its lower jaw into the item it bites, through capillary action. The Gila Monster's body is compact and powerful. The head is blunt and the legs are short, and the lower jaw is very strong.

    Extractions: The Gila monster is one of two known venomous lizards, the other being the Mexican beaded lizard, Heloderma horridum . It is a stout animal which usually weighs 3 - 5 pounds. Its length varies from 12 - 24 inches for an adult. This lizard has a thick, short tail which contains fat storage that the animal can survive on when there is no food or when the animal is in hibernation . The female also takes advantage of this extra fat during pregnancy. The Gila monster has skin which feels granular or bumpy. The bumpy scales on the upper body gradualy tun into plate-like scales on the underbelly. The coloration of the skin is black with contrasting pink, yellor or orange. This animal has five toes on each foot with claws that are short and sharp.
