Just 19% of snakes worldwide are venomous. The only 4 in the U.S. are the Cottonmouth, Copperhead, Rattlesnake, and Coral snake, with many having a venom potent to only rodents or amphibians. The only 3 venomous lizard on Earth are the Mexican Beaded lizard, the Gila Monster (of the Southwest U.S.), and the Komodo Dragon (which has been shown to have some venom in addition to the bacteria culture in its mouth). A recent study has shown 12 other lizards to have a very minute, harmless venom.
