There are two types of Gila Monster: The southern species, Reticulated Gila Monster,( Heloderma suspectum suspectum)and the northern species, The Banded Gila Monster, (Heloderma suspectum cinctum).This ferocious-looking lizard got it's name from the Gila Basin in Arizona. The Reticulated Gila Monsters color pattern can be pink and black, orange and black, or yellow and black. Banded Gila Monsters are pink,orange & red. Four or five black bands with spots in them run around the body. The tail is also banded.Their heads are spotted with black around their eyes and mouth. Ther patterns are really amazing because their colors send out a warning to any predators that they are poisonous.
The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) lives in the desert Southwest of the US and the northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. They hide under rocks, and they are venomous. While slow, they do grow to about two feet long, and represent a VERY GOOD reason to NOT stick your hand under rocks in the desert. They are protected by law in Nevada and Arizona.Check out the related link below for more info, including pictures:

Gila monsters (both banded and reticulated subspecies) are primarily predators. No doubt, they sometimes fall prey to other predators, but not often. Certainly, nothing preys primarilyon Gila monsters. Gila monsters are hard to find, staying underground most of the year, so no other predator can get at them. And if a predator does find one, the lizard is well protected by its venom. Still, some creatures may eat them as eggs or perhaps overpower very young Gila monsters.
