The Mexican beaded lizard is a venomous lizard found mainly in Mexico and southern Guatemala. It is one of only a few lizards known to have evolved a true venom delivery system. Its venom is also being studied for possible medicines.1

यसले के खान्छ?

It is a specialised nest predator that feeds mainly on bird and reptile eggs. It climbs deciduous trees to search for prey and sometimes eats small birds, mammals, frogs, lizards and insects.1

यसलाई कसरी चिन्ने

Black with yellowish spots or bands.1
Small, beadlike scales that do not overlap, which give it its name.1
Stocky body with a broad head.1
Short tail that stores fat, and does not regrow if broken.1
Adults are 57 to 91 cm long.1

प्रायः यससँग झुक्किइन्छ: The Gila monster is its closest relative and looks similar. The Mexican beaded lizard is larger, and its colours are duller, black with yellowish bands.1

विष शक्ति

टोकाइ

टोक्दा यसको विषदन्त वा दाँतबाट विष निस्कन्छ।

टोक्दा वा डस्दा यसको विषले के गर्छ?

Its venom is a weak hemotoxin, meaning it attacks blood and tissue. It can cause respiratory failure, which is when breathing fails. In humans, bites cause severe pain that can spread well beyond the bite and last up to 24 hours, along with swelling, weakness, sweating and a rapid drop in blood pressure.1

Human deaths from its bites are rare. Eight human bites were documented in the past century, and almost all happened when people prodded captive lizards with a finger or bare foot.1

तथ्यहरू

It is one of only two venomous beaded lizard species, and the only lizards known to have evolved an overt venom delivery system, along with the rest of its genus.1

Some compounds in its venom are being studied for possible treatments of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and HIV. One of them, exendin-3, is the basis of the drug exenatide.1

The beaded lizard is immune to the effects of its own venom.1

It is larger than the Gila monster, with an average adult weight of 800 g, and large specimens exceed 2,000 g.1

Beaded lizards have forked pink tongues that they use to smell, with the help of a Jacobson's organ.1

Young beaded lizards are rarely seen, as they are believed to spend much of their early lives underground.1

भ्रम तोड्ने

भ्रम: The beaded lizard is more venomous than a rattlesnake, can cause lightning strikes with its tail, or can make a pregnant woman miscarry by looking at her.

सत्य: These beliefs are incorrect. Its venom is weak, and human deaths are rare.1
