Dude in Colorado died when his pet Gila Monster, "Winston", latched onto his hand. Girl friend called 911, said he was "vomiting violently and ceased breathing." Took four days in the hospital to finally die. FAFO. Source: Faux news.

This one was found dead on the bottom of the pool. Otherwise I would not be holding it.
Would have loved to have had the skin but the penalties are very severe. I buried it.

Why would you want a pet that can kill you? Kinda like someone owning a pet cobra or other venomous reptile. They are not exactly loyal like dogs.

besides, being married takes care of that itch.

Gila Monster bites are almost never fatal. This was probably a result of the jab.
