The Teter Nature Trail is also home to many species of reptile, including turtles, lizards, and snakes.
Reptiles are cold-blooded creatures that depend on behavior to regulate body temperature.
Unlike amphibians, reptiles have dry scaly skin. This allows them to live in relatively dry conditions. All lizards and turtles, and some snakes will lay their eggs on land. The eggs of reptiles have a waterproof shell. Some snakes, however, will give birth to live young.
