First of all, it is important to note that the lizard Kanima is a variation of the real kanima. True kanimas are were-jaguars. Jackson had unresolved issues, that is what made him a kanima. Not knowing who you are is NOT what makes you one."The Kanima is a mutation of the werewolf gene that cannot fully transform until it resolves that in its past which manifest it.” (http://teenwolf.wikia.com/wiki/Kanima) Gerard seems to have a vendetta against werewolves and a family member of his, Alex Argent, was bitten by one resulting in a past issue that has not been resolved. While not exactly canon, I came across this site and found some interesting things that may or may not prove true. (http://teenwolffanon.wikia.com/wiki/Kanima)

Matt was seeking the bestiary to learn more about the kanima because he was becoming one himself. He began to turn once he mastered his control of Jackson and their minds become one. That is why he was turning. He wasn't going to become a beta kanima, he was a master to one. Gerard too mastered this but much faster then Matt did. A kanima master seeks revenge NOT a master. If Jackson was a snake of a person then Gerard is the king of snakes in that regard. He is much more cold then Jackson ever was.

I'm not saying that Gerard IS definately one or not. I just think that logically it fits. Of course he could become a werewolf just as well. I'm sticking to the kanima thing because he had mastered control of Jackson and so should be turning like Matt was. The mountain ash may have killed THAT way of him becoming one, BUT the bite from Derek definately took hold in some way or else his cancer wouldn't be going away. He is coughing up Mountain Ash so he is still "poisoned". He desires nothing more than revenge and has issues in the past. I think he would be a perfect candidate for the Kanima mutation. Oh well, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I think we'll see soon what, if anything, he happens to become.
