The monitor’s saliva contains over 50 bacteria that infect and kill their prey slowly. Is this true?
The carrion meat that get stuck in the monitor’s teeth are teeming with bacteria that can cause infections in the bite wound. However, the main cause of death of preys is the venom secreted by the monitor.

Are monitor lizards venomous?
Contrary to previous beliefs, most lizards do possess glands that secrete venom. While the monitor uses its venom to kill its small preys (symptoms include rapid swelling, drop in blood pressure, and blood clot inhibition), it has a relatively mild effect on humans.

Are they dangerous?
They are naturally shy and would rather stay away from humans. Like most wild animals, they do not attack unless provoked. As long as you keep your distance and leave them alone, you will be fine.

Chinese cave geckos are a group of 13 species of geckos under the genus Goniurosaurus. All of them are nocturnal, insectivorous, semi-arboreal lizards native to Asian from northeast Vietnam through southwest China to Japan. They prefer primary and secondary forest habitats with small bodies of moving water near rock formations.

These geckos range from as small as 5.5″ to as long as 9.5″ (14-24cm). Although exact appearance varies by species, there are some consistencies across the Goniurosaurus genus:

orange/red eyes
vertical pupils
eyelids
bumpy skin
pink-gray belly
no sticky toes
subtly segmented tail
Coloring is generally dark brown to black with white and/or yellow markings. Most have a banded pattern on the body, but some have stripes and others are almost completely patternless.

G. hainanensis is the most common Chinese cave gecko species in the pet trade, but there are others available. They tend to be fairly hardy pets, but this is not an excuse to slack on their husbandry. If you pay attention to providing high-quality Chinese cave gecko care, you may expect your pet to enjoy a lifespan of 10-12+ years.
