We were surprised to see this gila monster scurry into our garage when we opened the door. It hid behind some boards and had to be coaxed outdoors with a broom. Once outside, it ran around the outside of the building and down our retaining wall into the arroyo below. This guy was about 14" long and moved pretty fast once he decided to leave.

I was out walking after dark and this little Gila Monster (about 7")ran out of my way.
In the first picture, he is next to a flat block that is 15 1/2" long.
In the second picture you can see a couple of ants on him. When I interrupted him, he
might have been eating dinner. He didn't like being photographed.
In the third picture, he is hissing at me with a very wide open mouth!
Habitat was under several mesquite trees with years of collected leaf litter, rocks
and the pictured blocks.

This Gila monster sighting was forwarded on to myself by Bryan Andrew Keller. He stated, "My friend found a 1.5ft Gila monster today around 5pm in front of the gate to their backyard. She lives right by me about two blocks from sabino canyon and river (down knollwood). The area is residential but behind her house is a wash that leads to hills with a great potential for a 'natural' life".
