Dr. Jenkins sits down with Dr. Daniel Beck to discuss ecology and natural history of Gila Monsters. They cover everything from the origins of the name, their distribution, habitat needs, reproduction and much more. They also touch on the closely related Beaded Lizards and chat about rattlesnakes. Dr. Beck finishes with an incredible story about camping in Gila Monster country.
Connect with Dr. Beck at Central Washington University.
Here is Dr. Beck’s book, Biology of Gila Monsters and Beaded Lizards.
