Komodo dragons

I just heard they had large venom glands in their bottom jaw. I always knew about the toxic bacteria, but this new (to me) info is interesting. Is it possible that other monitors have venom too? I know people have had reactions that make it seem so.

Re: Komodo dragons

Thanks for the link, Raze. I've been totally focused on snakes lately. I risked posting it here because I wonder if this is news to anyone else here. You still see books and TV shows that don't have the new info.

Give it time, everything will be classified as venomous.
