  2. 2. An order of Reptilia, which includes the lizards. Note: They are closely related to the snakes, and life the latter, usually have the body covered with scales or granules.

None are venomous, unless Heloderma be an exception. The order includes the chameleons, the Cionocrania, or typical lizards, and the amphisbænas. See Amphisbæna, Gecko, Gila monster, and Lizard.
