Gilas are very venomous from what ive heard. If u got bit by a gila and didnt go to the hospital you would have 99.9% chance that u would die.

Yah right!! I live in Arizona! If you get bitten by a Gila It depends on how long it bit you. from what i herd they can hang on to you pretty hard with their teeth. So like I said if you get bitten for about a few seconds then its nothing if you get bitten for like a minute, then its just asd venomous as a rattler.

No documented deaths caused solely by a Gila monster bite have occurred in the United States.
It is believed that a prolonged bite to a small individual, such as an infant or toddler, could result in death.
Severe pain following a helodermatid bite may last many hours and generalized weakness can persist for several days.Their venom is not very toxic to anything much larger than a mouse or bird.

I was bit 2 times by my gila’s when they were very young both bites were about 1/2 sec kinda like tasting me not really attacking and holdin on like they can I did not go to the hospital either bit but it was not a plesant expiriance the pain radiates through your hole body and it hurts to even lay in bed your skin allmost feels like its on fire and last about 2 days i cant imagin what a long bit would feel like if i were bit for more than 1/2 a sec i would defiantly go to the hospital. let me refrase that if u are bit go to the hospital they can give u medican to help with the pain tylenol wont cut it lmao.

I think this post gets put up atleast once everyother day. I feel bad for you Gila Guys on this forum. Anyway they are pretty venomous. However it depends on how long the bite is. The longer the bite the more venom it can put into your system. As if it is a neurotoxin I do not know. It is pretty deadly to small humans like todlers but very painful to adults. It basically in the end all depends on how long the bite lasts.However the Gila Monster has very powerful jaws so its up to him when to let go.

P.S. I am from the Iguana forum but I put in about a year of research. Made a fue calls.

lets just say if your bit by one, treat the wound as if it were like any other bite from a venomous herp.
