Gila Monsters - the critters, not Gail, have a strange defense. Rather than a venom per se, their mouths are so full of bacteria and basically nasty that their bite is poisonous. They're not known to brush or floss much and kill / maim their victims by a sheer lack of personal hygiene. :sick:The illness from their bite may take time to work, but they can wait for their kill.
Hmm, what I said about gila monsters (not Gail!) venom may be wrong. :angry: I saw a documentary on them and distinctly remembered that the claim was made that they don't really have venom per se. But based on what I've read on the intertubes, that's wrong. So don't trust documentaries alone! I should have known.

Anyway, I think Gila Monsters are warm and cuddly.

You're thinking of the Komodo Dragon.

Craig Farrell (4/13/2011)You're thinking of the Komodo Dragon.
Craig, you're probably right! Then it was my fault, not the documentary's. I should have looked it up before relying on my faulty memory.

Gila monsters and the closely related beaded lizards generate a haemotoxic venom in modified salivary glands in the lower jaw.
The Komodo Dragon has a mouthful of bacterial warfare, capable of bringing down a water buffalo in a day or two from sepsis. NG have this on film, broadcast in the UK earlier this year. At least this documentary appears to back up current understanding (see Wikipedia entry).

Want to know the funniest line I read about them? Here is what to do if one bites you:
"When bitten, it is important to disengage the lizard as soon as possible."

The Gila Monster seems to be provoked most readily by infractions of intellectual property, Non Disclosure Agreements and the use / proliferation of braindumps.

The Gila Monster seems to be provoked most readily by infractions of intellectual property, Non Disclosure Agreements and the use / proliferation of braindumps.
Those are solid methods to get the GilaMonster riled up - along with several other people.
