The coolest reptile is the Anole lizard which has a colorful neck pouch and is also a great choice for novice reptile owners.
The bearded dragon is also the next coolest reptile and the Leopard Gecko.
The 3 orders of reptiles are crocodilia (crocodilians), Order testudines (turtles), and Order squamata (lizards and snakes).
The kind of food that reptiles eat are insects, vegetables, birds, plants, greens, cockroaches, crickets, larger mammals, collards, red leaf lettuce, rodents, rats, mice, squash, turnip greens other reptiles, live food, butter worms and pellets.
Reptiles do have a heart but instead of one heart the reptiles have either 3 or 4 chambered hearts and a closed circulatory system depending on the reptile.
Most kinds of reptiles have 3 chambered hearts except for reptiles like alligators, crocodilians, crocodiles and caiman that have 4 chambered hearts instead.
There are as many as 4 orders of Reptilia.
The species from 3 orders of Reptilia occur in North America and are Crocodilia (crocodilians), Testudines (Turtles), Squamata (Snakes and Lizards) and the order reptilia Rhynchocephalia has only 2 living species which is the tuataras which are only found in New Zealand.
The main characteristics of Class Reptilia are.
Reptiles are creeping and burrowing terrestrial animals that have scales on their body.
A reptiles body is divided into head, neck, trunk and tail.
A reptiles skin is dry, rough and without any glands.
A reptile is a cold blooded animal that is found in most of the warmer regions of the world.
Reptiles are a group of tetrapods with an ectothermic metabolism and amniotic development.
Living reptiles also comprise four orders which are Rhynchocephalia, Squamata, Crocodilia and Testudines.
Reptilia classes and reptiles live in several different types of habitats such as mountains, oceans, grasslands, deserts, swamps and forests and the Class Reptilia is composed of 4 orders.
The four groups of reptiles are Rhynchocephalians, crocodilians, turtles and Squamates.
The most important feature of all reptiles are there backbones which all reptiles have since reptiles are vertebrates.
Reptiles bodies are completely covered in scales and they are cold blooded and produce shelled eggs.
The difference between Amphibia and Reptilia is Amphibia animals or Amphians do not have scales and their skin is moist with mucus that keeps them from drying up and Reptilia or Reptiles have dry skin and have scales.
Reptiles and Amphibians are both ectothermic, or cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature relies on the temperature of their habitat.
Reptiles and amphibians also are both vertebrate animals, meaning they have backbones.
The easiest reptile to keep is the Leopard Gecko and Bearded Dragon.
Reptiles are air-breathing, cold-blooded vertebrates that have scaly bodies rather than hair or feathers and most reptile species are egg-laying, though certain “squamates” lizards, snakes and worm-lizards give birth to live young.
