choose from the links below for animals found at the Zoo: There are more than 7,700 species of reptiles, a class of animals that includes turtles and tortoises, snakes, lizards, crocodiles and alligators, and tuataras. Reptiles share many traits with other classes of animals, but they are the only animals with the following combination of traits: skin covered with a sheet of scales; self-regulated body temperature; and young that look like miniature adults (most hatched from eggs, but some born live).
Scaly Skin Is In!
Reptiles have dry, scaly skin. But they don't need moisturizer! Their special covering actually helps them hold in moisture and lets them live in dry places. Reptile scales are not separate, detachable structures like fish scales. Instead, they are connected in a "sheet," which is the outermost layer of skin. Every so often, this layer of skin is shed and replaced. In some reptiles the skin flakes off in chunks. In snakes, the skin is usually shed in one piece.

    What You Should Know About Keeping Reptiles as Pets Diseases People Can Get from Reptiles and/or Amphibians Caring for Lizards Caring for Snakes
    Information from CDC An estimated 3% of households in the United States own at least one reptile. Reptiles, including turtles, lizards, and snakes, can carry germs that make people sick. Of greatest importance is salmonellosis. An estimated 70,000 people get salmonellosis from contact with reptiles in the United States each year. This chart, from "Reptile-Associated Salmonellosis — Selected States, 1996–1998" ( http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4844a1.htm ) shows how the problem has grown in recent years as the popularity of reptiles as pets has increased.
    From Reptile-Associated Salmonellosis — Selected States, 1998–2002 "Salmonellosis associated with reptiles is a continuing public health concern. During the 1970s, small pet turtles were a major source of Salmonella infections in the United States. In 1975, the Food and Drug Administration banned commercial distribution of small (i.e., <4 in. long) turtles; the majority of states prohibited the sale of such turtles. These measures prevented an estimated 100,000 cases of salmonellosis among children each year. However, reptiles remain popular pets in the United States; during 1991–2001, the estimated number of households with reptiles doubled from approximately 850,000 to 1.7 million. The increase in pet reptile popularity has been paralleled by an increase in the number of reptile-related Salmonella serotypes isolated from humans.

    Godzilla in a Tank: Taking Care of Reptiles So you're in love with an iguana named Iggy. He's green, he's scaly, and he . . . lives in a tank in your living room. You need all the information you can get to keep him happy. And close encounters of the scaly kind require thought and planning beyond your average food bowl, water dish, and squeeze toy.
    Universe in a closet
    Two of the basic requirements in creating a home for your reptilian pal are heat and a reptile-friendly container. Aquariums, custom cages, and boxes of the home-built type are all good places for your green friend to call home. The easiest (and cheapest) lining for the cages of many reptiles is newspaper-it's easy to change and easy to tell when it's wet. Turtles need a more humid lining, such as soil mixed with peat moss. Geckos will like smooth aquarium stones in the bottom of the cage. Snakes will appreciate rocks to facilitate shedding, and iguanas and snakes both will like a hardwood driftwood branch for climbing. All linings should be changed regularly, with feces removed often.
    "Hide boxes" (which function exactly as their name implies) provide a secure, out-of-sight place for rest and relaxation in your reptile's home. A hide box should be a shallow plastic container with a hole cut in the side and filled with one to two inches (depending on your friend's size) of damp vermiculite or moss. Hide boxes can double as nesting areas for some species-your veterinarian can tell you whether you'll need one for yours.

    - Mammals - Reptiles - Amphibians - Birds ... Plan Your Visit Reptiles Whether people love reptiles or run the other way at the mere mention of them, reptiles bring out a curiosity in people like no other kind of animal.
    What other kinds of animals can effortlessly slither through the grass, grow and live in an awkward, bulky shell, or use their tongue to “smell” their environment?
    Reptiles include animals like snakes, lizards, turtles and alligators. They range in size from just a few inches to over twenty feet long. Though they may appear very different from each other, they share many of the same traits to help them survive in almost any environment.
    It’s time to dispel the myth that reptiles feel slimy and slippery. They all have thick, dry skin that is covered with scales for protection. Most reptiles do not live in water, so thick scaly skin also prevents them from drying out. As a reptile grows, it must shed its outermost layer of skin. Snakes shed their skin all in one piece but other reptiles like lizards shed their skin in pieces.
    Mammals and birds can make their own body heat and can keep the temperature inside their body the same whether it’s cold or warm outside, but reptiles can’t do this. The temperature inside their body changes with the temperature outside (they are poikilothermic) and they cannot make their own body heat (they are ectothermic). They prefer temperatures between 65 and 85, so how can they live in any climate except the very warmest? The secret lies in their behavior. Reptiles will bask in the sun to warm up

    Reptiles What is a Reptile? Reptiles include snakes, lizards, crocodilians, and turtles. Reptiles are cold-blooded. (They depend upon their environment to provide warmth.) Most reptiles are egg-layers, although some produce live young. In cold regions, reptiles hibernate. In extremely hot or dry climates, some reptiles will estivate, or go into a torpor. Because they lack intenal heating mechanisms, reptiles depend on external heat sources. Thus, you will often find them lying in the sun on rocks and logs. Most reptiles have a three-chambered heart.

    Reptiles have been around for a long time. They are believed to have evolved from amphibians and have developed several adaptations for life out of water. Reptiles range in size from the green anole (5 to 8 inches) to the crocodile (23 feet). Reptiles can also live in habitats ranging from swamps to deserts. This great diversity among reptiles is one of the reasons they have managed to survive.
    One major characteristic of reptiles is the presence of scales composed of a protein called keratin. These scales form a waterproof barrier of skin, which allows reptiles to exist away from water without the threat of dehydration. Another characteristic is the regulation of internal body temperature by the external absorption of heat. Thus, reptiles are ectothermic. Unlike endothermic creatures, which must use calories from food to regulate body temperature, reptiles don't require much food to maintain body temperature and survive.
    Reproductively, they can lay eggs on land due to the development of a protective shell around the egg. However, these eggs must be fertilized inside the female before the shell forms.

    The Problem and Its Prevention
    In its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report of Dec. 12, 2003 , the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a new report on reptile associated Salmonellosis (infection with Salmonella bacteria). Salmonellosis is serious and potentially fatal, especially in young children or anyone with a weakened immune system. The CDC estimates that 74,000 cases of Salmonellosis per year are associated with exposure to reptiles or amphibians (directly or indirectly), which makes this a significant public health concern. The CDC report also notes that children are at greatest risk from reptile associated Salmonellosis, and that many reptile and amphibian owners are still not aware of the risks. This report is an update of a previous one , and notes that that amphibians have also been implicated in outbreaks of Salmonella , so salamanders, newts, and frogs should treated as carriers along with all reptiles.

    39. Reptiles
    A simple description of reptiles, focusing on their evolutionary advantages over amphibians.
    http://www.backyardnature.net/reptiles.htm
    REPTILES IN GENERAL
    E lsewhere we see that amphibians (frogs, toads, salamanders) are a "primitive" class of animal. They were the first animals with backbones to evolve capable of living on dry land. It is easy to believe that amphibians are primitive because they are incapable of doing some things that we members of the "more highly evolved" class of mammals take for granted. For example, look at this:
    WHAT AMPHIBIANS CAN'T DO:
    • mate on dry land retain water well in their bodies keep their bodies warm during cold weather
    When the first reptiles arose from amphibians some 70 million years after the first amphibians appeared, they went a good way toward solving these problems. In fact, their solutions for these problems largely define what reptiles are.
    THE REPTILES' EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCES
    First of all, these new-fangled reptiles could mate on dry land ! Male reptiles came equipped with an ingenious appendage enabling them to insert sperm inside the female's body. Moreover, inside the female, an eggshell was formed around the developing embryo, and this enabled the egg to be
