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.
