question on the lizards


I dont know reptiles very well... just the typical reptile family: alligators, snakes, lizards ect... I dont know every single living reptile in the world that exist. So my question is are those venomous lizards real or fiction in the movie.

The only poisonous lizards in the west are gila monsters.

Yellow Spotted Lizards, of which there are several species, are NONpoisonous denizens who can be found from the deserts of southwestern United States to the tropics of South America. The Yellow Spotted Lizards in the movie were actually played by brightly-painted Bearded Dragons. CGI images of the lizards were also used in some of the scenes, e.g., when the "Yellow Spotted Lizard" reared up on its hind legs, displayed its neck frill (Bearded Dragons don't have neck frills), and ran across the floor.
