You just never know what you'll find....



...on your front doorstep in Tucson!
This beautiful Gila Monster found his (or her) way to our front door this evening. We presume he's out looking for a mate.
This guy appears to be an adult, due to the size and banding. Although the bite is not usually fatal to humans, Gila Monsters do have venom. They bite down, then inject more venom into their victim as they start to chew.
If he's still visiting in the morning, we may have to find him (or her) a new home. He definitely needs a manicure!
