No. The two most venomous species of lizards are the Gila Monster and Beaded lizard, which are closely related. Monitor lizards also have a mild venom, as do a few agamids, but no geckos are venomous. Bites from animals other than the Gila Monster, Beaded Lizard, and Komodo Dragon are considered harmless, as the venom produced by other species is too mild to cause anything more than a little localized swelling. Venomous animals inject or introduce toxins through their bite. Poisonous animals are toxic if eaten. Poisonous lizards are extremely rare (only a couple of species have been found), and no geckos are poisonous, either. Most lizards that are found in homes are geckos or anoles, both of which are completely harmless. They can carry parasites, however, so you should not let your cat or dog eat them.

∙ 15y agoNo they are not poisonous. Mostly they are there because there is a ready supply of food (bugs). You can capture them and put them back outside if you want to.
