the only venomous lizards discovered are gila monster, mexican beaded lizard (not bearded, it is beaded) , and currently the komodo dragon, (which i thought it's parasites made it deadly, but i hear that is does have venom). Maybe hearing that the bearded dragon is poisonous is from walt disney's movie "Holes", (book by louis sachar) they use beardies to play the fictional yellow spotted lizards, which are supposed to bite you which kills you is a few seconds. ive been bit by my dragon several times,(well, not bad bites), and remained unharmed. where did here this?? did they mean if you lick your beardie that you may get salmonella?(food poisoning(i think all reptiles have it) beardies are not venomous.
good luck with yours! :mrgreen:

Actually, they found that they are venomous. Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Bearded_Dragon

Yes believe it or not they actually are on the venomous species list.Kind of funny in order for any damage to actually occur they would have to cew on you arm for hours and even then you would just need an antibiotic.I believe they actually excrete a paralytic agent of sorts but I am not sure of the exact details.
The new movie, Nim's Island has some cute beardie segments -- eating a sandwich (phony voice coming from it) and see it on her shoulder. Reminds me to get the movie and re=watch it.
Yea, I heard about the beardies in HOLES playing the part of dangerous reptiles...............guess you have to get sweetie pie lizards to play the role of killer ones.

No actually they have a vestigial gland for a mild venom.Its in their anatomy however the key term is mild and it is proven useless after years of eveolution with the exception of their prey items.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
