Information about the Mexican Beaded Lizard:

The Mexican Beaded Lizard is, along with the gila monster, is one of only two venomous lizards in the world. But the Beaded Lizard is larger and not as colorful as it's more northern relative. The Beaded Lizard is a specialized predator feeding primarily on bird and reptile eggs, which makes exact function of the lizard's venom uncertain and the subject of some debate. It is not aggressive and poses little threat to human. Generally these reptiles grow to about 24 inches long.
