Gila Monster!!

They're big, they're nasty, they're poisonous, and they do indeed live in the wilds of Arizona. If they bite you, they won't let go, and they have to be pried off or drowned. Now where, pray tell, are you going to drown a lizard when you are in the middle of the desert? I ask you!

Apparently, there are freaks out there who actually like them. Take a peek a Dr. Seward's site to view the work of the totally obsessed. I think he'll also sell you one of the horrid creatures if you talk nice to him.
