Any of various cold-blooded, usually egg-laying vertebrates of the class Reptilia, such as a snake, lizard, crocodile, turtle, or dinosaur, having an external covering of scales or horny plates and breathing by means of lungs. A person regarded as despicable or treacherous. [Middle English reptil , from Old French reptile , from Late Latin rēptile , from neuter of Latin rēptilis , creeping, from rēptus , past participle of rēpere , to creep.] var tcdacmd="cc=edu;dt"; Encyclopedia reptile, name for the dry-skinned, usually scaly, cold-blooded vertebrates (see Chordata ) of the order Reptilia. Reptiles are found in a variety of habitats throughout the warm and temperate regions (except on some islands), with the greatest variety in the tropics. Reptiles differ from other terrestrial vertebrates (birds and mammals) in that they are cold-blooded, that is, they lack an effective system for regulating their body temperature, which tends to approach that of the environment. For this reason reptiles are not found in the coldest regions of the world, and they hibernate in cool winter areas. They range in size from 2-in.-long (5-cm) lizards to 30-ft-long (9-m) snakes. They typically have low-slung bodies with long tails, supported by four short legs that project outward from the sides of the body; however, all snakes are limbless. Although reptiles are fundamentally a terrestrial group, some are adapted to living in water. All breathe air by means of lungs and have thick, waterproof skins designed for retaining body moisture.

BIRD TREKS NEWS FLASH! #36 7 February 2004 SOUTH TEXAS TOUR Mike Haldeman and John Puschock have just begun our mid-winter South Texas Tour with eleven anxious participants. With any luck, one of the first birds of the tour may be a gull at the Corpus Christi Landfill that has been tentatively identified as a first-winter Yellow-legged Gull. If the identification is correct, this will represent a first Texas state record. Mike and John saw the bird during their pre-tour scouting and are hopeful that they can relocate it. We wish good luck to the entire group.

Add Dummies General Interest eTips to My Yahoo! My Yahoo! Home ... Pets Feeding Your Pet Amphibian or Reptile Feeding Your Pet Amphibian or Reptile Adapted From: In the wild, herps tend to be wanderers, moving about during their active time. (Some herps are active at day, some at dawn and/or at dusk, and others during the night.) Herps are pretty basic creatures; when they wander, they're either looking for a spot to thermoregulate (warm up so they can have normal body function, or more rarely, where they can cool down because they're already just a bit too warm); to procreate (if it's breeding season); or to find food. Food preferences Carnivores eat flesh (or meat). Herbivores consume only (or primarily) plant materials. Green iguanas and some tortoises are examples of the vegetarian herps. They eat foods such as chopped collard greens, romaine lettuce, chopped squash and bananas. Omnivores consume both meat and plant material. Bearded dragons and many aquatic turtles are examples of omnivores. Typical food items include crickets, mealworms, earthworms, chopped veggies, and romaine lettuce. Occasionally, you see more specific terms in place of carnivore or herbivore, including the following:

Other snakes may grow longer, but none matches the length and weight of the anaconda. The largest specimens can grow to close to 30 feet (9 meters) long and weigh 1,200 pounds (550 kilograms). "The anaconda is the master of the swamp," says Rivas. "Before 1992, no one knew anything about it, and you can't really know anything about an animal by building computer models in the lab. You have to put on the shoes of the snake and wear them. That way you learn the difference between the truth and what you think the truth is." Rivas started the Anaconda Project in 1992. For ten years, Rivas and a revolving group of graduate students and volunteers have captured and released about 800 green anacondas. As a result, some of the giant snake's story can now be told.

CR Handbook : One Article Costa Rica is home to approximately 150 species of amphibians and more than 200 species of reptiles, half of them snakes. The most common reptile you'll see is the dragonlike, tree-dwelling green iguana, which seems to have little fear of man and can grow to two meters in length. You'll spot it often in moist deciduous habitats, crawling through the forest leaf litter or basking on branches that hang over water, its preferred route of escape when threatened. There's no mistaking this reptilian nightmare for any other lizard.

Despite its menacing One Million Years B.C. appearance, it is quite harmless, a nonbelligerent vegetarian. Local gourmands, for reasons you may not wish to know, call the iguana the "tree chicken." Its cousin, the ctenosaur ( iguana negra ) is considered more edible, and you may see them on sale in
