Fantastic footage.The first thing that strikes me is how these magnificently marked creatures blend in with their surroundings.I've been to Arizona twice and kept my eyes peeled the whole time I was there,but all I found was a dead rattler(Mojave).Would love to see a Gila.Your films are the next best thing.

thats my favourite animal, they're so cute until they bite you! lol

Thanks. I've been very lucky with my sightings. No tips really -- only that you're more likely to see one early in the morning or around twilight in the summer time. They start coming out of their burrows in April to breed. Still haven't seen one this year yet ...

Great footage, I have been looking around forever and still havn't spotted a gila monster. You have any tips?

Yes, I agree that development has done far more damage than ORVs alone but their increasing popularity worries me. Plus, the ones out here do not stick to trails. I've documented ORV tracks right by and running over gila monster tracks. I will check out Las Sendas next time I'm out that way. Thanks for your comments!
