Do lizards bite humans

Answer 1

Yes, most lizards bite. Some lizards squirt blood through their naked eye, whilst other lizards wave their tail to scare predators away.

Yes, most lizards can bite as a weapon for self defense. However lizards that are kept in captivity, such as iguanas, are less likely to bite humans because they are used to human contact. Some lizards give a warning before biting - if a lizard opens its mouth wide, swells and hisses at the same time, this is a warning that it may be about to bite.

Answer 2

Mostly not but if it was not trained well it could, but lizard bites are not dangerous in any way.

It all depends on what you consider to be a house lizard. Geckos are probably the most common lizards found in houses. I've been bitten by a gecko and it didn't hurt; that doesn't mean it would never hurt, though, but there would rarely be any blood drawn. I definitely would not be afraid of a gecko. Other small lizards that one may encounter indoors would also not be dangerous.

All lizards bite but Garden Lizard's bites don't ever penetrate the skin and its only a problem if you are surprised and hurt the poor lizard while trying to get it off.
