Can a blue spotted lizard put it's tail in you and poison you?
The short answer is 'No, there are no lizards at allthat have the ability to 'put it's tail in you and poison you'. There are, however a lot of folk tales about such things.Some Skinks ( Eumectes spp ) are wrongly thought to be able to 'sting' with their tail...in some areas they even have the name of 'Scorpion' or 'Scorpion Lizard'.As long as we're covering this subject, it may be of interest to point out that some of these same Skinks have a bright blue tail as juveniles. House cats frequentlytry to catch Skinks. It has been reported that cats who eat the juveniles with the blue tails become quite ill...and may even die. There is therefore perhaps some basis in fact for the notion that these lizards are poisonous to eat when they are juveniles. An adult Broad Head Skink measures 12-13 inches and can give you a pretty painful nip if you catch it, but there is no venom in it's bite....or it's tail ;)
