My name is Jerome Herrmann.
In May 2026, I took over the website heloderma.net from Dr. Hans-Joachim Schwandt, who built and maintained the site over decades.
I would like to sincerely thank him here for his help, the many great conversations at numerous meetings, and the long-standing friendship.
About me:
I was born on December 16, 1986, in Neunkirchen/Saar.
Since the age of 8, I have been fascinated by reptiles.
2012 to 2017: Keeping and breeding of Morelia viridis and Corallus batesii.
2015 to 2018: Keeping and breeding of New Caledonian giant geckos.
In March 2025, I took over the breeding stock from my friend and mentor
Dr. Hans-Joachim Schwandt.
GILA-Monsters have inhabited our planet earth for about 100 million years and are contemporary with the dinosaurs.
The "dinos" as we know have been "extinguished" but Gila Monsters still inhabit North America and Mexico.
This Website wants to inform you about the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum).
We exclude long descriptions as the information is intended to be interpreted by the numerous pictures and video animations.
HELODERMA is the only so far known venomous lizard. None of the presented material or photos should animate anyone to touch these lizards.
The genus Heloderma is protected under Cites as an Appendix II species.
Anyone that wants further information about this species of Heloderma is welcome to contact me via this website.
