From what I have heard when they bite you they are almost impossible to get pry loose. They can't express their venom so they just sort of drool it into you. Apparently their teeth are really sharp so the bite hurts bad and their venom causes searing fire like pain that travels from the bite site into your arm or leg.

Thank God, I cannot verify that from experience! But what you said above sounds about right, except they do not drool venom in to you, they grind it in with their teeth!

Yeah, the Gila Monster kind of sounds like the reptilian version of the Pit Bull. Ouch! When a creature has your arm or leg and they won't let go of it!
