Some lizards carry very deadly bacteria n there mouths. If some lizards bute you, the bacteria in the saliva can soemtimes kill. There are many differentw ays lizards are dangerous. Some also have very sharp claws and some salamanders and lizards have poision on there skin. And if you dont play with a bearded dragon lizard every day it becomes very meanand uncontrollable and could attack.

There are only two types of poisonous lizards: the gila monster and the mexican beaded lizard. Both have fangs in the back of their powerful lower jaws, so they have to bite and chew on their prey a bit to inject their venom, a powerful neurotoxin. Both are sluggish and pose no threat to humans. No human has been reported killed by a gila monster bite since 1939. Some monitor lizards and the komodo dragon can "poison" their prey but it is not a venom, but a bacterial infection from their bite. Other lizards such as the bearded dragon have been recently found to possess vestigial venom glands, but they are not poisonous to humans. I fact, beardies make great pets and I have one myself. Painted up and cgi enhanced bearded dragons were used in the movie "Holes" as a dangerous, fanged lizard, but no such lizards exist.

Are lizard dangerous?

Lizards are not usually dangerous, unless it is a rare lizard like a beaded lizard you komodo dragon, or a untame lizard. List of naturally mean lizards: Iguanas, Anoles, Collard lizards and most geckos. Those might bite but unless it is a komodo dragon or possibly a beaded lizard none will kill you. I hope I helped!
