what is a reptile and what is the size of that
Answers
Answer:
Most reptiles are measured from snout to vent (that is, the tip of the nose to the cloaca). However, measurements of total length are common for larger species, and shell length is used to gauge the size of turtles. The body size of living reptiles varies widely.

Explanation:
The major groups of living reptiles—the turtles (order Testudines), tuatara (order Rhynchocephalia [Sphenodontida]), lizards and snakes (order Squamata), and crocodiles (order Crocodylia, or Crocodilia)—account for over 8,700 species.
