This isn't your average reptile. It's one of only two venomous lizards in the world and it's pretty easy to spot thanks to its chunky body and colourful, bumpy skin. Its skin is covered in bead-like scales that are black, pink, orange, and yellow, making it look like it's wearing a Halloween costume all year round. But don't let its looks fool you, while it's slow-moving and only about 2 feet long, this little monster is a tough cookie!  \nSpeaking of tough cookies, you'd have to be one to survive in the Gila monster's home. These lizards live in the deserts of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it's hot, dry, and sandy. They spend most of their time hiding in burrows and only come out at night to hunt for food. And when it's time for dinner, they feast on eggs, small birds, frogs, and even other lizards.  \nAfter hearing about their diet, you might be wondering about the Gila monster's relationship with other animals and humans. Well, Gila monsters usually keep to themselves, but if they feel threatened they will defend themselves using their venomous bite. While their bite is painful, it's rarely fatal to humans. But it's a different story for the smaller animals that cross their path. In fact, Gila monsters are so tough that they don't have many predators. Only creatures like coyotes and birds of prey dare to mess with them.  \nBefore we wrap up, let's talk about the Gila monster's life cycle and some neat facts that make them different from other species. Gila monsters lay eggs, which is pretty common for lizards. But one thing that's unique is the way  \nthey care for their eggs. Unlike many reptiles that lay their eggs and leave, Gila monsters stick around to protect their eggs until they hatch. And one super cool fact is that Gila monsters can live for up to 30 years!
