He was only in the foyer for about 15-20 minutes and then decided that area was not for him.
I love seeing wildlife. I generally just take a few pictures and leave the wildlife alone.
These Gila monster's don't like being messed with, they have no problem defending themselves. They are the largest venomous lizard in North America, and aren't afraid to bite if you bug them. If they bite, they will chew on you for a bit to try and inject as much venom as they can. Apparently they don't let go unless you drown them or kill them by other means - I've never been bit by one thankfully, and can't confirm if that's a wife's tail or if that's actually how they run their business. I plan on not finding out
I love seeing them though. They are like little dinosaur's. It's my first one of the season.

Thanks for the reply., would like to meet one someday. At a respectable distance, of course.
About the meanest 4 legged critters around these parts is a trapped badger or a 1,800 # pissed off Angus bull. Have met them both, at least the badger is on a chain. Most of the time.
