It's 100% true. For several decades, the 75-80 degree temps of Buhl's Miracle Hot Springs have made an inviting home for one of nature's most notorious predators. Surprisingly, the seasonal conditions are just right, too. Hagerman Valley's mild winters coupled with scorching-hot summers fosters an ideal environment for the cold-blooded reptilians.
