Lizards also have protective scales on their skin to protect them from predators.
Lizards lay eggs, meaning that they are amniotes. (They can also bare live young)
Some lizards have special bones in their jaw that help with their mobility.

They do not use energy to regulate their body temperature which means they can live in the desert climate. 
Since lizards have a larger jaw, they can consume larger prey than most other animals.
The moisture in the scales helps the lizard survive in warm conditions.
Lizards can also re-grow their tails if it is detached.

Lizards tend to live in groups in their early years, once they are matured, they go out and try to find their own mate and try to survive on their own. To greet each other, the raise their hand/feet. Females pick their mate based on how genetically fit he is for the environment. If the male has tough scales in an environment where there is a ton of predators, then obviously the female would choose him. The female would not choose a male who is genetically unfit.

They can live in deserts in Africa or rainforests in South America.

Snakes have no limbs, therefore they slither on the ground.
Snakes also lay eggs and have their own egg nest.
Snakes also have special bones in their jaw for their venom in some species and to eat large predators whole.

They do not use energy to maintain their body temperature so they live in warm areas of the world.
Snakes having larger jaws means they can poison their prey so they can eat it. They will only use poison if their predator/prey is very large.
Snake scales also contain water so they can have homeostasis in their body.

Once they have surpassed the maturing years, they go out on their own to survive. They hunt their prey by slowly approaching their prey. Some species will attack their prey by biting them with their venom. Then they will bite their prey and choke them with their bodies. Snakes only interact with each other if they are fighting over a mate or if they are preying upon each other and in their infancy.

They typically live in rainforests because they can hunt their prey in secret and they also live their because it is easy to maneuver.

As you can see, the Gecko shares a lot of traits with the King Cobra and the Black Mamba (You'll see that in a few seconds.) The Gecko is from he the same origin as the snake. They did not live together at first, but once they did, they became almost similar.

As you can see, The King Cobra and The Black Mamba share a lot in common with each other. This is because they share a common ancestor on their family tree or they are closely related in the snake phylogenic tree]]> 2016-06-03 01:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/joeneild/538waem65amx/wish/113551277 joeneild https://padlet.com/joeneild/538waem65amx/wish/113551472 Iguanas and Geckos have the same DNA sequences because they are very genetically alike, they both have very rough scales to protect them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguana

The gecko also does not use enzymes or anything that produces energy for their body heat because they are cold blooded.

This shows that the King Cobra and the Black Mamba are nearly the same because of their internal body structure.

The King Cobra and the Black mamba also have the same amount of offspring as well. In the offspring's early development, they are at 28 Celsius. (82 F)

The iguana is one of a few species that can become different colors.

They only had fangs that could bite larger predators/prey. The venom gives them an advantage because now they can kill you on sight with one bite.

They do follow Darwin's theory of descent with modification. I also believe that their type of natural selection is directional. They will always favor the dominant traits because that is what causes them to live longer.]]> 2016-06-03 02:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/joeneild/538waem65amx/wish/113551886 joeneild https://padlet.com/joeneild/538waem65amx/wish/113551936 I believe that snake species have offspring that are more capable of living then their parents did because of natural selection. The type of natural selection that snakes go through is directional selection.
