The only one I ever saw was on film in the movie The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, which is one of my All-Time favorite movies. A must-see movie, if you have never seen it!

Several breeders across the world have mastered what it takes, but it seems widespread success remains elusive to most.

johnw Campfire Ranger Joined: May 2002 Posts: 15,632 Likes: 4 Turkey River Iowa	Originally Posted by SupFoo The name "Gila" refers to the Gila River Basin in the U.S. states of Arizona and New Mexico, where the Gila monster was once plentiful.[7] The Gila monster is the largest extant lizard species native to North America north of the Mexican border. Its snout-to-vent length ranges from 26 to 36 cm (10 to 14 in). The tail is about 20% of the body size, and the largest specimens may reach 51 to 56 cm (20 to 22 in) in total length. The Gila monster's diet consists of a variety of food items – small mammals (such as young rabbits, hares, mice, ground squirrels, and other rodents), small birds, snakes, lizards, frogs, insects, other invertebrates, carrion, and the eggs of birds, lizards, snakes, and tortoises.[19][20][21][22][23] Three to four extensive meals in spring are claimed to give them enough energy for a whole season.[citation needed] Nevertheless, they feed whenever they come across suitable prey. Young Gila monsters can swallow up to 50% of their body weight in a single meal.[16] Adults may eat up to one third of their body weight in one meal.[9] Not sure it's really the largest...
