there is a massive difference between venom and bacterior the komodo does have a small amount of venom combining that with big serated teeth and a huge amount of bacterior its mouth is not a place u would want to go near the venom thins the blood and basicly makes the animal bleed out,another lizard is a gilla monster so there is one venomous lizard anything that eats dead things in the wild is bound to have a hell of alot of bacterior in there saliva more so in the komodos because that is how they kill larger animals the wound goes septic and bleed constantly then with its super senses it smells out the prey it has biten n lunch is served but dnt wory about your bosc being venomous i have children aswell but there would b noway id let them near them unsupervised so my advice is keep your keys in your pocket and ur kids away when ur not there:smile:
