The venom is made in glands in the lower jaw and flows along grooves in the lower teeth into the bite. It contains more than a dozen peptides and other substances, which cause pain and swelling. Four potentially lethal toxins have been found, which can cause bleeding inside the organs.1

The venom is usually not fatal to healthy adults. One death has been confirmed since 1930, on 16 February 2024. Earlier deaths involved adults who were drunk or whose bite was treated badly. Bites are painful and can cause shock, but the lizard is sluggish and rarely a real threat.1

Ɛyɛ dɛn bere a ehu aka no?

Its bright colours may warn predators to keep away, because it can inflict pain.1

Sɛ ɛka a

Bites are painful and need emergency medical care, because the venom may cause shock. Get medical help as quickly as possible.1

Nsɛm

Exendin-4, one of the venom's peptides, led to the development of GLP-1 receptor agonists, which treat type 2 diabetes and obesity.1

Young Gila monsters can swallow up to half of their body weight in a single meal.1

It can store fat in its tail and survive a whole season on three to four large meals in spring.1

Its venom is thought to have evolved mainly for defence, because its prey is mostly eggs, small animals and other helpless prey.1

It can climb trees, cacti and fairly straight, rough-surfaced walls.1

Its teeth are replaced throughout its life, and broken teeth are replaced by the teeth behind them.1

Atosɛm sɛefoɔ

Atosɛm: Its bite is always fatal, and its breath is poisonous.

Nokorɛ: The venom is usually not fatal to healthy adult humans. One death has been confirmed since 1930.1
