This is Pablo the beaded lizard .
He is venomous .
(Like a Gila Monster, but fatter and uglier. )
Fun fact: He is old AF.
Like, super duper OLD.
He has been alive for an unreasonable length of time , and surely seems to be surviving /thriving purely out of spite.
Somewhat surprisingly, this species has been observed to have a slightly longer lifespan in the wild than they do in captivity.
But Pablo is in a Mexican
Standoff with Death, and he disrespects the laws of nature with every breath he takes.
Can you guess how many years he’s been alive? ( because he sure as s**t can’t remember)
