Mexican beaded lizard — size comparison — facts and sources
The Mexican beaded lizard (Heloderma horridum) inhabits dry rocky valleys, scrub and open forests in Mexico’s rocky and semi-arid regions. Scales resemble small beads, and pale markings decorate the dark body.
A venomous lizard, it spends the day in a burrow and emerges after dark to feed. Tail fat stores allow it to survive food shortages.
It eats eggs, small vertebrates and arthropods. Females bury eggs in soil; hatchlings find food independently. Older accounts also included forms now recognised as separate species.
