Most lizards lay eggs with leathery shells. The eggs are laid in sand or rotting vegetation they can be warmed by the sun.  Most lizard species lay several eggs at a time. Most lizards lay their eggs and then abandon them.

The reptile’s senses of sight, smell, and hearing are similar to those of other vertebrates.Lizards have a specialized,  sensitive organ, called Jacobson’s organ. They can detect the presence of chemicals.

# data[].attributes.body
Excretion is performed mainly by two small kidneys.Uric acid is the main  waste product. Unlike the kidneys of mammals and birds, their kidneys are unable to produce liquid urine.

# data[].attributes.body
they have a three-chambered heart. . They have a muscular wall that divides the ventricle. When the ventricle contracts, the wall opens and the ventricle divides into two chambers preventing the oxygenated blood and deoxygenated blood from mixing

When a female snake is ready to mate, she begins to release a special scent from skin glands on her back. As she goes about her daily routine, she leaves an odor trail as she pushes off resistance points on the ground. Female snakes reproduce about once or twice a year; however, the methods of birth vary among species.

Snake's head respond to sound waves and transmit them to the inner ear. A snake's tongue has few taste buds. It is used with an organ of smell called the Jacobson's organ, which, along with the nostrils, provides snakes with a keen sense of smell.

The excretory system involves the removal of additional or unnecessary material or waste from the body. Many reptiles, including snakes live in dry environments, such as the desert, and have adapted to this type of environment. One key adaptation that reptiles that live in environment with little water supply. In snakes and other vertebrates, the excretory system is referred to as the urogenital system.The urogenital system of a snake consists of a pair of kidneys, ureters, and a cloaca.

The three-chambered reptilian heart is composed of two atria, which receive blood from the lungs and body, and a large ventricle, which pumps blood into arteries. This heart is evolutionarily more basic than the mammalian four-chambered heart

They are egg layers and the female crocodile will build a nest to lay her eggs. The heat of the nest will determine the sex of the babys. Typically a female  crocodile will lay around 40 - 60 eggs. This usually happens between November and March of any year.

Tortoises reproduce sexually. Tortoises in the wild usually have stronger mating urges during the spring,The mating process begins with the male tortoise picking up a female's scent trail and following it until he ultimately reaches his target. The shells  are also shaped to help in mating and reproduction.All turtles lay eggs on land. Some turtles use the same nesting spot year after year. One single mating results in up to 30 eggs being fertilized, although these will not be laid together

# data[].attributes.body
Crocodiles and alligators have sensory organs in their skin that are sensitive to heat, cold,  and  chemicals in their environment.These sensors known as integumentary sensory organs.The extreme sensitivity  allows the animals to detect surface pressure , waves in the water,  and to locate prey even in the dark.

# data[].attributes.body
The crocodilian have perhaps the most complex vertebrate circulatory system. When submerged, a crocodilian's heart rate slows down to one or two beats a minute, and blood flow to the muscles is reduced.

Turtles are thought to have exceptional night vision . Turtles have color vision. Some land turtles have very poor movement abilities. But carnivorous turtles are able to move their heads quickly to snap.

The excretory system of the chelonian is responsible for removing harmful wastes from the body and blood. The kidney performs a process that filters blood and the wastes are then sent to the bladder as urine.From the bladder the urine goes to the anus where the urine leaves the body

# data[].attributes.body
Tortoises are cold blooded reptiles.
Tortoises have to keep an active heat source for their bodies at an ideal temperature and keep the vital organs working properly

# data[].attributes.body
they have dry scale skin, four legs and clawed feet, external ears  and a long tail wich many species can detach when they are in danger. They also have small teeth with which they crush and chew the food

# data[].attributes.body
when they chew the food the saliva breakes down. As the lizard is chewing the food a ball is created in the back of the  tongue. The ball will go down the esophagus, where it will go down the digestive tract.

# data[].attributes.body
They are vertebrates

# data[].attributes.body
They live every where on the planet except on the polar regions as it is too cold for them to survive. Most live in trees, some on the ground and a few in the water

# data[].attributes.body
They breathe oxygen with the nostrils. Before reaching the lungs the oxygen goes trough the bronchial tubes, after reaching the lungs oxygen goes trough the aleovi and into the blood.

# data[].attributes.body
They are saurians

# data[].attributes.body
Ophidians behind the tongue have a small opening called glottis , wich opens into the trachea. The reptiles glottis is allways closed, forming a vertical slit, unless the snake takes a breath. A small piece of cartilage inside the glottis vibrates when the snake expells air from it lungs

# data[].attributes.body
Ophidians swallow their food whole without chewing, the muscles move the food down along the throat and into the snake’s big stomach. Food in the stomach can take from a few days to a couple of months to breakup.

# data[].attributes.body
They live in deserts, forests, streams, and lakes. Ophidians can live in the ground in trees and in the waters

# data[].attributes.body
In the lungs of a crocodilian there are alveoli. the diaphragmaticus, the liver and other organs move towards the tail allowing the air enter the lungs .

# data[].attributes.body
Snakes are very flexible, but they have bones, known as vertebrae, they have between 200-400 vertebrae, that it what makes them so flexible

Ophidians is one of the main subgroups of squamates

When food enters the mouth, the esophagus moves the food down and slowly breaking it down. Acids help ingest all parts of the food.

Cocodrilians have V-shaped snout full of teeth. Their eyes produce tars to clean the eye and to avoid bacteria. They have webbed feet, the reptile does not tipically use them to help them swim, bt to run .

Chelonians breathe through the nares. When they open the  mouth, the air passes from the nares to the glottis then to the traquea and into the bronchi where it enters to the lungs

# data[].attributes.body
The main subgroups of chelonians are cryptodira and the pleurodira

# data[].attributes.body
the body Shell is composed of broadened, fused ribs and the backbone is attached to de carapace, the Shell is covered with a layer of scutes

# data[].attributes.body
Chelonians chew the food with their teeths , then push it down their throat with their tongue. Then  food moves down  the trachea and esophagus to the stomach. Then food  moves to the small intestine, where the food is digested. The small intestine is so long, that it can take up to four weeks for the food to digest. Later, the undigested food goes to the large intestine where water is absorbed. After this, the waste food leaves the body through the anus.

# data[].attributes.body
some chelonians live in the water, they are adapted to aquatic life although they lay eggs in the sand. others live in the sand, and some  live in land and water usually in  swamps, ponds, lakes and rivers
