I am currently working with four yearling Reticulated Gila Monsters. I purchased them from Dr. Mark Seward in Colorado. They are wonderful animals and every one of them has a different personality. I try to handle them often (usually during feeding). The first two have become very docile and are very easy to handle. The other two are still a little defensive so, they are handled with a welding glove. It took me a while to get used to the handling technique. I received two small bites since January. Even though they were very small, short, nips, the pain was out of this world. It lasted for a good 6 hours. None the less, I really love these animals, bite or no bite. I am getting the funds together now to purchase an adult pair. I am very much looking forward to next years breeding season. I seriously doubt I will sell any of the hatchlings this first go around.

Mark's animals are spectacular. Check out his website www.docseward.com
