Skinks are neither poisonous nor venomous. In fact, there are no poisonous lizards in the world- only venomous ones, and the only venomous lizards on Earth are the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum spp.), the Mexican Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum spp.), and the Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis). Although many believe the Komodo Dragon's "venom" to be the product of solely dental bacteria, Dr. Brady Barr's recent work with the species has shown that they actually do have a venom of their own (as impotent as it may be). I talked with him in person about this work a couple years ago.
