Reptiles
Thought this trip Gloria and I have encountered very few lizards. We did see a lizard or two and a Gila Monster in Tucson. Here in Gold Canyon we are starting to see a whole lot more. On our hike the other day we saw 4 different Gila Monsters and several smaller lizards.
A Gila Monster is the only venomous lizard native to the United States. They can reach a length of 2 feet. The 5 we saw were 12 -14 inches long.
I have included a few pictures below.Hope I got the ID correct.
