清洗傷口，讓傷者保持冷靜，並且就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。急救基本知識

注意安全

絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
如果被牠咬了：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。更多安全知識

值得知道

小知識

Fewer than 200 individuals are believed to exist in the wild.1

It is the rarest and most endangered beaded lizard, and one of the most endangered lizards in the world.1

Its survival may be linked to the Guatemalan spiny-tailed iguana, because that iguana's eggs are an important food source for it.1

Radiotelemetry studies in the dry forests of Zacapa, Guatemala, found an average home range of 130 ha.1
