There are many species of lizards, and of the more than 6,000 known species, most are nonvenomous and only a few species are venomous. Some of the more famous venomous lizards are the smaller Gila lizard, which lives in Mexico, the larger Guatemalan Pearl lizard, and the spider lizard, which lives mainly in Mexico. There are fewer venomous lizards than non-venomous species, and most of them live in the Americas, both in South America and North America.
Are lizards poisonous? Can you touch them with your hands?

1. Is the lizard poisonous

? The lizard is a very common animal. It belongs to the class Reptilia. It is a reptile. It contains many species. It is widely distributed in the world. There are also many lizards living in China. The differences between different species of lizards are relatively large, such as toxicity. There are about 6000 species of lizards in the world, most of which are non-toxic. Only a few of these species are known to be poisonous.

For example, the "Gila monster" is poisonous. It is not particularly large, and it is distributed in large numbers in the deserts and shrubs of Mexico. There is also the "Guatemala pearl monster", which is also poisonous and relatively large. Then there is the "spider monster", which lives in the coastal areas from Mexico to Guatemala. Compared with non-toxic varieties, the number of toxic varieties is relatively small, and they are basically distributed in the Americas, possibly in North and South America.

2. Can lizards be touched

by hand? As mentioned above, most species of lizards are non-toxic, and only a few are poisonous. These poisonous species are naturally untouchable, and they may be more wary of humans. If humans touch them, they may bite. For some small and non-poisonous lizards, although they can be touched, human touch may cause some harm to their skin, or make them suddenly frightened, so it is recommended not to touch them casually. If the owner is already familiar with the lizard, he can touch them with his hands, but it's better to wash his hands before touching them.
