Desert lizards need to be able to store fat in case of lack of food and endure long periods of time without water. They are also typically sand-colored to evade predators.

In the case of the Gila monster and the Mexican beaded lizard, however, they have a poisonous bite, which they use to defend themselves and to kill prey which is scarce in the deserts of Mexico and the American Southwest.
