Komodo dragons don't have acid spit. their mouths are breeding grounds for an unpredictable cocktail of assorted bacterium.

Their teeth are covered in a thin membrane of flesh which is torn up with they moved their jaws, allowing a small amount of blood leakage and providing an ideal location for bacteria to multiply.

They are effectively immune to the microbes living in their own mouths, which allows them to use their horribly diseased saliva to infect and kill prey.
