Reptile development is different than amphibians'. Instead of going through metamorphosis, baby reptiles are miniature versions of their parents when they hatch. The main categories of reptiles are crocodiles , lizards , snakes, and turtles . Some examples of lizards are iguanas, geckos, and chameleons. There are many different types of lizards, and their habits and adaptations are just as different.
Snakes are legless reptiles that live on the ground, in trees, or in water.
They hunt for other animals or eggs, which they swallow whole. To move, many snakes bend themselves from side to side, pushing off rocks or bumps in the ground. To hunt, some snakes are armed with fangs which they sink into their victim and inject a deadly venom. Others slowly suffocate their meal by tightly coiling around it. The last group of reptiles are turtles.
