From my knowledge Gilla Monsters and Beaded Lizards are two different species. The only two poisonous lizards in the world. They deliver venom through their teeth and the venom is excreted with the pressure of a bite i believe. Someone please inform me if im way off.

Saw some beadeds a week ago at the Pittsburgh zoo (hehe just before hitting a show in Monroeville) - yeah they look VERY similar . Like that fabled sweater- "just like that . . . but different".

Reticulated Gila Monster, (Heloderma suspectum suspectum)
The Banded Gila Monster, (Heloderma suspectum cinctum)
i am pretty sure their venom is in thier saliva (well mixed into it - not inherent) as opposed to injected through fangs.

There's an 'edit' link, not button. It should be below your avatar (or at least on all the browsers I use)

All Heloderma are, and the only, venomous species of lizards in the world. Unlike some varanids that are known to be "venomous", they are trully venomous. They do produce there very own venom. They do not deliver it through teeth such as vipers do, but have to "chew" it into the flesh much like some venomous snakes are known to. They have a very strong grip with their jaws as well, and relatively use their venom for defence only.
Beaded lizards have a range south of the Gila Monster, and their ranges only are shared by a small amount of relative space to range size. Very cool lizards. One of my favorites to see here in Arizona!

They have venom glands on their bottom jaws. Here's a site that has some information on them, and the way the utilise their venom.
