General Reptile Information

Reptiles, otherwise known as reptilia, are amnion.  Amnion means they reproduce completely on land.  Their extraembryonic membranes provide nutrients, protect the embryo and facilitate waste and gas exchange.

Scales on reptiles are used to help protect from predators and dehydration.

Reptiles are ectothermic, that means their body temperature matches the temperature surrounding them.

Reptiles have a four-chambered heart, well developed lungs, and their tongue is used as a sense organ.


These are just some general information about reptiles that most of you probably don't care about, but for those that do, there you go.  If you would like me to add something just let me know.
