This was a cool find from May 2025 Herpetological Review I picked up while doing my daily scour for new Gila info. Gilas are so secretive it’s a wonder we can get them to breed in captivity with all the activity and interaction they have with their keepers! There’s also a related video which may be NSFW (but in a scientific way) which I will link below. I think my life would feel pretty fulfilled if I got to trail Gilas in the wild for research.
