★All reptiles have a backbone, which means they are vertebrates.

★All reptiles produce eggs. Most reptiles lay hard-shelled eggs, but a few give birth to live young.

★All reptiles have scales or scutes. Scales are small, hard plates that are made from a protein called keratin. Scutes are the shells of turtles and the armor of crocodiles and are very similar to scales. Unlike scales, they are bony structures and develop in a deeper skin level than scales. Both scales and scutes provide physical protection and help prevent water loss through the skin.
★Reptiles are ectothermic or cold-blooded, which means they cannot control their own body temperature. They must work with their environment to increase or decrease their body temperature. Basking in the sun raises their body temperature, and they move faster when warm. Retreating to shady areas when they get hot lowers their body temperature.
