Here are the proud parents of the Gila monsters born here at Goastby’s Place. All adults are from different bloodlines and offspring will denote which dams and sires produced them with captive birth certificates provided.
Gila 01 – Winston The O.G. (Original Gila, of course!)
Winston has been with me since 1998 when I purchased him captive born as a yearling from a private breeder in North Carolina. We have been through a lot together, long nights, hard days, moves, marriage, children – Winston has been with me through it all. He has gotten used to me over the years and has a very calm temperament. Don’t know if the chill attitude is passed down genetically, but he is a great reticulated Gila with reduced orange pattern and dark black background.
Gila 03 Belle
Belle is a banded female with lots of spunk. High in pink with beautiful bands, she doesn’t take crap from any man. Her offspring tend toward light pink colorization with clean banding.
Gila 05 – Heather
Heather came into my collection in 2018 and is a beautiful captive born female reticulated Gila monster purchased as an adult born in 2012. She is pretty girl, and her and Winston hit it off real well so we put these two together to make gorgeous retics with reduced banding.
Gila 11 – Misty
Misty was one of the first Gilas we produced in 2019 that was held back. Daughter of 01 Winston and 03 Belle, she has gorgeous pink coloring and has only recently been introduced to her partner, Gila 34 Indy.
Gila 21 – Punkin’
Originally purchased as a sexed female (which my girls named Pumpkin due to his high orange colors), but our ultrasound showed otherwise. He is the largest of the males and all our Gilas in general, coming in at over 1200 grams!
Gila 23 – Thunder
Thunder is a stunning beast of a banded Gila that you would hate to meet in a dark alley. His reduced pattern with salmon pink coloring makes for some beautiful Gilas!
Gila 24 – LUCY
Lucy is a female banded Gila with a funky pattern that I just love! She has a nice light pink coloration, we are very excited to see what she produces over the years!
Gila 22 – Winifred
Genetically, Winifred is a true axanthic Gila monster but I prefer monochrome after my love of black and white photography. Born in 2015 from Dr. Mark Seward’s axanthic genetic line, “Winnie” is a smaller female Gila with a lot of personality. We look forward to working with this genetic line and will pair Winnie with specific males to make amazing Gilas with interesting patterns.
Gila 34 – Indy
Indy is a gorgeous 2023 male from my friend John’s Brueggen’s Monsters line. He was a trade for one of our own “Spicy” and I am sure it is not the last,time we will be trading bloodlines.
Gila 45 -Scar
Gila 46 – Paisley
Gila 47 – Galaxy
Gila 48 –
Gila 63 – Luca
Luca is a classic Seward “banded” male Gila monster. Born in 2022 and a little skinny in this photo, he is plumping up nicely and will likely,be paired in 2028.
