All monitors have "venom" in their saliva?

[Skiploder]

So yesterday I was talking to a friend while handling this baby water monitor and he said that all monitors do have a little venom in their saliva. I was also watching part of that dumb fatal attraction show and they had also said that monitors have venom in their saliva.

Is this true and would this also include Tegus (since they are kind of considered monitors but are in their own category)?

I say this in all honesty Tiff, with no attempts at being snide:

Don't you find it ironic that some people have condemned the "Fatal Attraction" episode with the Urutu and the monitors as disgusting and awful and full of untruths..........

..........and then you come to find that it was correct where many forum-goers were wrong - that monitors are venomous?

As for your question regarding tegus:
