Answer

Incorrect. There are two poisonous lizard species in the World: Gila Monster, and the Mexican Horned Lizard.

The real answer

no there are two the Mexican beaded lizard and the Gila monster that's the right answer

That is actually incorrect as well.

There are 3 lizards that contain posion glands. The Gila Monster, the Mexican Bearded Lizard, and the Komodo Dragon.

Originally the Komodo Dragon was thought to kill its prey using The bacteria in their mouths. But just this year we were able to dissect and identify that they do indeed have poison glands in which they use to kill.

incorrect again the komodo dragon is not poisonous on the Gila monster and something else i forgot lol

There are about 1500 species of lizard that have poison glans. The komodo was thefirst to be identified, except for the commonly know and mentioned two. After that about 1500 species have been confirmed to have poison glans. they were evolved a long time ago and many species lack a means of utilizing the poison and usually the poison is very weak. snakes took a step forward on the lizards with their fangs.

Answer 2

Poisonous LizardsThere are only two lizards that have been decalred poisonous. The two lizards are the Mexican beaded lizard and the Gila monster. Both are found in the southwestern part of the United States, as well as northern Mexico.

Edit: These lizards are venomous, not poisonous.

It has been confirmed that the Komodo Dragon does acutally have poison

Answer 3

Two

Venomous snakes include several families of snakes and do not form a single taxonomic group. There are many venomous snakes.

Venomous snakes are often said to be poisonous, although this is not the correct term, as venoms and poisons are different. Poisons can be absorbed by the body, such as through the skin or digestive system, while venoms must first be introduced directly into tissues or the blood stream (envenomated) through mechanical means. It is, for example, therefore harmless to drink snake venom as long as there are no lacerations inside the mouth or digestive tract.

There are however two exceptions: the Rhabdophissnakes (keelback snakes) secrete poison from glands that it gets from the poisonous toads that it preys on; similarly certain garter snakes from Oregon retain toxins in their liver from the newts they eat.
