Thinking gila monster? Get a hamster instead. [View all]

I guess there is a certain thrill to having a pet that can kill you, but the downside is that you might die. I always understood that being bit by a gila monster was not likely because the fangs are toward the back of the jaws. I hope they find a good home for the monsters.
