The Yellow Spotted Lizard is a venomous creature that inhabits the arid, dusty-dirty wasteland of Camp Green Lake. Each lizard has bright-yellow eyes, black venomous teeth, red-rimmed eyelids, a milky white tongue, scale color ranging from a greenish color, an orange color, and a yellow color, and exactly 11 spots. It is said that by the time you get close enough to count the spots, you will likely already be dead. A Yellow Spotted Lizard is apparently incredibly venomous, with its venom being potent enough to cause a slow and painful death to anyone bitten, with no known antivenom and a 100% fatality rate. Interestingly, the lizards have a strong dislike for onions. Stanley Yelnats IV and Zero (Hector Zeroni) were both saved by this because they had eaten a large amount of onions prior to being trapped in the hole with the lizards. Sam had, coincidentally, also made an onion tonic for this same purpose, which prevented the lizards from biting the drinker, due to the fact that they hate 'onion blood.'

Camp Green Lake was shut down and reopened as a Girl Scout camp (much to Mr. Sir's chagrin, due to Mr. Sir previously saying "This isn't a Girl Scout camp."). The Girl Scouts were instructed to eat lots of onions.

The actual lizards used in the film were Bearded Dragons, which are harmless and nonvenomous. Nine Bearded Dragon lizards were on call for the parts of the lizards in the film. A non-toxic children's finger paint was used on the lizards to make them appear bright in color and computers helped create some of the lizard action and production created fake life-like lizards for some of the other scenes.
