Besides teenage boys…Some pretty dangerous critters can be found hangin’ around your pool.
😵💫
The Gila monster doesn't just bite; it wages a war of attrition. Unlike a rattlesnake that strikes with surgical precision using hollow fangs, the Gila monster has no pump to inject its (venom).
Instead, it relies on a brutal, primitive delivery system that is pure nightmare fuel. To get the venom into a target, the lizard must latch on with a bulldog grip and literally chew the wound. Once it locks those jaws, it often flips onto its back, using gravity to help the venom drain more effectively from the lower jaw into the victim.
Be careful…This was sent by another local pool pro.
