I always prefer to see those critters in the wild, but it's always fun to be able to see them this close in a closed environment. Would love to see on of those gila monsters in nature one day! Thanks for sharing!

I used to get the gila monsters in my yard in AZ little baby ones and somewhat medium sized ones. Never saw a huge one in the wild though. I've stepped over plenty of diamondbacks too over the years, thankfully they warn you with a rattle before coming too close.
Uff! Glad snakes are not evil monsters as they're normally portrayed (well, at least most of them :)!
Only copperheads can be nasty, no warning and quick to strike and very camouflage.
Yeah, some are short tempered. Fortunately all snakes here are the chill kind. :)
