Thank you for trusting Snake Discovery (and their audience) to watch over this little girl as I know that may feel tough, and really I hope your family gets through this difficult time.

Your always so kinda caring and selfless to animals that need help. I wish there’s more people like you. May the your friend rest easy now knowing your helping

I'm sorry Stevies previous human passed away, but I'm glad you are there to give her a new loving home. It's always wonderful to hear you talk about reptiles; you can tell you care A LOT about all the animals who come under your care. Stevie is adorable, by the way! She's such a beautiful colour, and seems very happy in her new home. I hope she gets on well with Sheila.

@@realname6857 I totally understand that. I've found that I have to put my brain into a different mindset when dealing with the snake food aspect, especially with the smaller rats as most of my snakes are on "rat pup/crawler" sizes and those are my favorite stages of life for them. Plus, my adults keep making friggin' gorgeous babies with unique markings. This is one reason I've been thinking of selling some for pets if I can find enough interest in my area. I handle all the rats pretty frequently and provide enrichment and climbing opportunities and my main group of 6 adults (the only group as I've just started on the rat owning/breeding path) is in a 3 feet long by 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall barred enclosure and I intend on purchasing/building more cages and/or an extention for the current cage when I can.

lizard doggo (desert variant) Stats: Health: 200 Attack Dps: 700 Stealth: 10 Speed: 15 Mobility: 20 Level: Expert The desert variant of the lizard doggo is classified as a rare Pokémon, normally only found deep within the deserts of Arizona. Although they look weak and slow, (and they kinda are…) they use a deadly venom to neutralize their prey. This “Venom Blast” attack is their main attack an deals 700 dps. This attack can be easily countered with worker gloves, crafted with 6 wool and 1 rubber lining. This Pokémon is only for experienced owners, but when trained is a lovely pet, and a good friend

It's nice to see someone else who find lizards adorable, because they absolutely can be and are! And it's pretty clear Stevie was loved by her previous owner! Naming her Stevie is a great tribute! Gila monsters are named after the Gila River. The word Gila is a Spanish contraction of Hah-quah-sa-eel, a Yuma word meaning "running water which is salty". Their genus is Heloderma which means "studded skin" and their species name is suspectum, and this is because when it was first described by paleontologist Edward Drinker Cope, who originally thought it was just a northern variation of the Mexican beaded lizard, he suspected that the lizard might be venomous due to the grooves in the teeth. Which of course, he was right. There are five beaded lizards in the Heloderma genus. The Chiapan, Mexican, and Rio Fuerte beaded lizards are found in Mexico, while the Motagua Valley beaded lizard is found only in southeastern Guatemala. These Gila monsters are definitely the most incredible lizards in the US as they are not only venomous, but also the largest lizards in the country as they can measure up to about 22 inches (56 centimeters) in total length. The colorful, beadlike skin of the gila monster helps with camouflage. Its claws are used for digging burrows and for digging out other animals' eggs.

they're so cute. Those eyes would lull me into a false sense of security when handling I think

Native to my home state! These guys are so elusive most folks in AZ have never seen one aside from zoos or rehabs. I got crazy lucky years back, was up real early one morning it was still relatively cool outside. Just a ways past my house, since I lived in a very rural area, I saw a Gila Monster making his way back under a rock. Unmistakable! They are so gorgeous and have that cute puppy dog lizard face❤

RIP Steve, Thank you so much for Steve's family that, even though they were going through the worst kind of grief, they still took into consideration the animals, who also lost their everything when they lost their son/brother.

She seems so friendly, it looks like her old owner spent a lot of time socializing her. Bless his family, I hope knowing his pet has the absolute best home.and through Stevie Steve's love of reptiles will be shared with so many.

She's adorable! And she looks really well taken care of, so sad to hear her previous owner passed away. I'm sure he'd be glad to know his pet will continue to be well taken care of. My condolences to the family.

Sheila and Stevie - such a cute name! Glad she landed with you, even though it's under sad circumstances. 💜💜 Sending love to the family.

The Gila monster is definitely not something you'd want to mess with in the wild! The Gila monster produces venom in modified salivary glands at the end of its lower jaws, unlike snakes, whose venom is produced in glands behind the eyes. Four potentially lethal toxins have been isolated from the Gila monster's venom, which cause hemorrhage in internal organs and exophthalmos (bulging of the eyes), and helothermine, which causes lethargy, partial paralysis of the limbs, and hypothermia in rats. Coyote Peterson described the bite as "like hot lava coursing through your veins" and claimed it was the worst pain he had ever experienced. It is generally regarded as the most painful venom produced by any vertebrate. On May 8, 1890, southeast of Tucson, Arizona Territory, Empire Ranch owner Walter Vail captured and thought he had killed a Gila monster. He tied it to his saddle and it bit the middle finger of his right hand and would not let go. A ranch hand pried open the lizard's mouth with a pocket knife, cut open his finger to stimulate bleeding, and then tied saddle strings around his finger and wrist. They summoned Dr. John C. Handy of Tucson, who took Vail back to Tucson for treatment, but Vail experienced swollen and bleeding glands in his throat for sometime afterward

The fact that there are lethal toxins in it's venom doesn't mean it's actually deadly. Apples also contain the lethal toxin Cyanide, but you don't see people dropping dead when they eat them. The venom is extremely painful, but you won't be in serious danger. As far as I know, there have been no confirmed deaths caused by the venom.

I love the way you guys talk to your reptiles.

We had a mated pair of these lovely creatures roaming our property in AZ with their offspring (not our pets, completely wild) along with dozens of lil 🐢, absolutely amazing to watch them and build a bond with them over the years until they were basically part of our pet-family 🐈🐈‍⬛🦎🐕🐢🐦🦉🐦‍⬛🐇🦌

When I saw you grab just 2 bags of eco earth I went "that'll never be enough" 😂 My bullsnake is about to move into his 6x2x3 forever home and I was surprised how much substrate you need(it's bioactive though so I'll only have to spot clean or it would get expensive quickly!)

After watching all of you videos I decided to get my first snake Sunday. She’s a two month old conda hognose named Artemis.

I kept mishearing 'humid hide' as 'human hide' and for a second I was thinking "Why would she want human skin? Why do you have human skin to offer her?'

I misheard it the same, (until the last time), though I did not misunderstand the hide part, but I thought, probably some brand making products for the HUMAN(e) care taker of those reptiles with that little bit extra (be it venom or special needs).

I think I’ve been watching snake discovery for 5-6 years I’m not lying I’m so excited for every Tuesday and Friday ! I’ve subscribed on all my family’s accounts 💔

1:40 This reminds me of the time I worked at a wildlife shelter, and the people who did the pickups (from a different company) were notoriously bad with species names and they called ahead that they were coming to us with a very big pigeon that was injured. So I was told to set up a pigeon enclosure. When they finally arrived at the very end of our shift with the "very big pigeon" they carried in a Great black-backed gull (Larus marinus) (basically a good-sized gull species) and we were all just staring trying to figure out how it could have been mistaken for a pigeon XD That was an impressive mess up, even for them. Don't worry though, we all rushed off after that to give it treatment, a bigger enclosure and proper food, and the gull made a full recovery.

Glad that Stevie found a nice new home! Plus nice warehouse!!

Rest in piece Steve. Your legacy will live on In your Gila monster!
