New Animals

I recently picked up these two pairs. I hope to produce beadeds for the 2nd year in a row and this will be my first attempt with Gilas. They were all cooled and should be ready for this season!

Re: New Animals

Can you hold them? I thought their venom was deadly.

Re: New Animals

I have only held captive specimens that were quite docile.I believe that they have to masticate on their prey for sufficient quantities of venom to be administered.[wild specimens would be a different story that i would not attempt]

Re: New Animals

I free handle them, well most of them. I don't trust the male gila, he'll chase you out of the cage lol. The female is pretty laid back but will still snap back. The beadeds are pretty chill and I'm pretty lax with them. They aren't deadly, although an ant bite can kill. Their venom is more of a deffensive venom, I don't think it's used to kill prey. Both would produce a very painful bite. I've heard of two people who were able to beat out bites by eatting pain killers but both said it was still very painful. Typically a morphine drip at the hospital is in order!
