The animal grows up to 95 cm, but usually, its body length is much less. In the distant past, these individuals were quite harmless to themselves. They had no way to defend themselves from enemies, so mother nature decided to reward them with at least one effective weapon, and let poison through the salivary glands, which was previously absent. When bitten by the Mexican beaded lizard's tooth, infections or anaphylactic shock are possible in the presence of allergies. So be extremely careful!
