Some amphibians have potent skin toxins, and a few species can be dangerous to humans (e.g., Phyllobates terribilis; see Myers et al., 1978).
Venomous snakes are potentially dangerous to caretakers, as are the two species of venomous lizards (the gila monster and Mexican beaded lizard, Heloderma suspectum and H. horridum).
Dangerously venomous snakes are not limited to vipers, elapids, and sea snakes; many colubrid snakes are venomous and some of these can be dangerously toxic to an animal as large as a human.
