They live in the desert, so I don't know what you mean. They also live in farmland and scrubland and spend about 95% of the time in shade, underground or in rocks. But here is why they thrive in the desert: Gila monsters have three adaptations that enhance their survival in their desert environment: First, they have large bodies, and can consume large amounts of food during a brief period. Second, they need to feed infrequently because they can store fat in their tails. Finally, their metabolic rate is low, so that they burn up their fat reservoirs slowly.
