A different kind of hot....
Today my fiance and I went to the Oaks reptile show. He had adamantly insisted that I not buy any more snakes, but when we got there the guy who always has beaded lizards was there. John had been looking at the beadeds every show he went to, and the guy offered us a very discounted price on his last holdback baby. John and I talked about it, hemmed and hawed a bit, then decided to split the cost and bring the little guy home.
John named the beaded lizard "Gojira" which is the original name for Godzilla. He really does look like a tiny monster, but he's actually quite cute. He's a cranky little bugger too.
Here are a few pictures of Gojira in his temporary juvenile quarters. When he's a bit bigger we'll get him set up in a more permanent decorative cage. For now, we were told it's better to keep him in a simple set up with paper as a substrate until he's got more size on him.

Re: A different kind of hot....
I think that is very awesome. I would love to have a beaded or gila one day. Just a little tempting to touch. And such a wallop if they hit you. But very cool in all regards.

Re: A different kind of hot....
I'm quite jealous, they're illegal here, congrats on the new addition, how big is he now and how big will he get? I know they get bigger than gilas but that's about it.

Re: A different kind of hot....
I too prefer gilas, Aaron, but they're next to impossible to find. Right now Gojira is about 10 inches long or so. He can get up to 3 feet long and 5 or so pounds.
