I'd never thought about hots like that before Scott. Sort of makes sense when you see it like that, although i'd rather get bitten by a fish than a hot whilst cleaning out.

Are Gilas docile? I know you wouldn't handle one like you would a Beardie, but just wondered what their temperament was like. |
as babies they hiss and snap madly, but as adults they calm right down and are even ok to handle (carefully!) |
Do you know anyone that has been bitten Scott?.. |

yes, although he wasn't from the UK (or the USA). He was bitten by an adult female, within a couple of hours he was being sick, then bad pains, then he was taken to hospital (by air ambulance I beleive). He was given adrenilin shots and kept in over night.....so all in all, a gila is not something to get bitten by...lol |
