With the popularity of science fiction being what it is today, few people have not seen a Lost Island-type picture where the bold scientist and hid party encounter the “last surviving dinosaurs.” One fact pervades all the grand attempts of the cinema to depict a dinosaur: all dinosaurs have to have crests, frills, or spines. The lizards and crocodiles used in these movies are always adorned with this fancy make-up.
But among the vast array of living lizards, few of the large ones possess such fancy accouterments, while many small forms are more bizarre that anything Hollywood could conceive. The large iguanas do have dorsal crests, but nothing like what one sees in the movies. Admittedly, there are a few large forms like Hydrosaurus which would fit the bill nicely, but they are exceptional.
Considered to be fairly plain lizards, the genus Anolis has members with a developed caudal sail, while males of the genus as a whole are known for their bright throat fans. The true chameleons have great diversity in facial horns, as do the agamid lizards of the genus Harpesaurus. Ceratophora has a single horn-like flap on the tip of its snout, while Lyriocephalus has a small globe on theirs.
The Australian lizard Chlamydosaurus kingii may have the most unique accessory of all. On either side of the body is a large flap of skin. When alarmed, the lizard extends these flaps even with the head, greatly enlarging its appearance. This trait has earned it the name of frilled dragon.
The list of bizarre forms goes on with the American horned lizards (Phrynosoma) and the Australian moloch (Moloch). There exists the beautiful union of form and function in the wings of Draco. Certain Central American teiids, genus Proctoporus, have light-reflecting spots along their sides; one form may even be bioluminescent.

Both exostoses and bony tumours were found in the same animal. Tumours of internal organs have been found in the lungs (Bland Sutton, 1885), the kidneys and the pancreas. A papillary adenocarcinoma of the kidney was seen by Patay (1933) in a specimen of Natrix natrix L. Ratcliffe (1935, 1943) described adenocarcinoma and other neoplasms of the pancreas.
Neural tumours are rare in reptiles. However, Scott and Beattie (1927) found a tumour of the cerebellum in Crocodilus porosus Schn.
Coloured tumours, particularly melanomata which occur in reptiles are rightly regarded with much apprehension. Ball (1946) reported on a remarkable case of melanoma in a specimen of Pituophis melanoleucus.

Among other deformations may be seen truncation of the head, malformation of the mouth and deficiencies in the dentigerous bones. Kalin (1937) saw such cases in crocodiles, all caused by skeletal anomalies. Wermuth (1961) described an anomaly in a specimen of Testudo h. Germanni Gmelin, the Greek tortoise. The animal had a single supra-caudal scale which is typical for T. graeca L. and a serrated edge of the carapace which is typical for T. marginata Schoepff. Anomalies of the carapace are fairly common in chelonians (Martens, 1936). They may be combined with other abnormal developments.
Albinotic animals are most striking among colour deviations in reptiles. Melanism, the opposite, also occurs frequently. Schetty (1950) reported on a melanotic lizard.
It seems doubtful whether the appearance of accessory parietal organs described for instance by Haffner (1955) for Lacerta vivipara Jaquin should be included among the anomalies since they are extraordinarily common in reptiles, particularly so in lizards. Haffner himself found such rudimentary eyes in one-sixth of his material. Attempts at lens and retina formation can clearly be seen in these organs.

The most commonly offered monitors are the African Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus), which grows up to 7 feet; the Savannah Monitor (Varanus exanthematicus), measuring 3 to 5 feet at maturity and the Asian Water Monitor (Varanus salvator), which grows to a maximum of 8 feet! If you want calmness and docility in a monitor, then your best choice is the Savannah Monitor, which becomes very placid with frequent handling.
All monitors except Gray’s Monitors are carnivores, and it is not hard to meet their nutritional requirements. In addition to insects and other invertebrates, monitors can eat had-boiled eggs, canned dog and cat foods, fish and small rodents. Diet should be as varied as possible and vitamin and mineral supplements used, especially if you’re feeding processed foods devoid of bone and organ meats, from which they normally get nutrients and minerals in the wild.
Monitors require sizable living quarters and enclosures should be at least twice as long as their ultimate or maximum size, and about half again as wide. They require temperatures in the 85 degrees to 90 degrees F range during the day, although some species like it slightly hotter. To help match their natural day/night cycles, temperatures at night should be allowed to drop to 70 degrees F.

During the daylight hours the radiation of heat from a light source, which enables the lizard to bask, is the preferred method. When light bulbs are used in conjunction with”hot rocks” a wider variety of temperatures becomes available to the lizard. The heating “rock” can be positioned on the floor and strategically placed in the lizard’s environment. The specimen then has the option of climbing onto the device, where it can regulate its body temperature in much the same manner as it would by lying on a warm rock. For fear of the obvious hazards of electricity, these devices as well as all other electrical equipment should never be exposed to wetness unless it can be guaranteed that the unit in question is waterproof.
Humidity requirements for lizards vary from species to species, depending on the climate they come from. A climate is comprised of many different elements, including: mean annual temperature; precipitation; relative humidity; amount of sunshine/cloudiness; and wind direction velocity.

Its respiratory system is better. The nostrils are separated from the mouth by a hard palate. When the alligator swallows a struggling victim there is no danger that a desperate kick will penetrate the roof of its mouth and damage its brain. The alligator has well-developed lungs in comparison to the more primitive saclike structure of snakes. It has the most highly developed brain of any reptile, and is one of the few to have its teeth firmly set in its jaws.
On the other hand, the alligator lacks a well-developed Jacobson’s organ, which means that its ability to detect tastes and odors is not nearly so acute as a snake’s. It has the well-developed digestive system which works so efficiently for all reptiles, but lacks a bladder, although most turtles and lizards have one. Its ammoniac kidney wastes, along with intestinal wastes, pass through a chamber called the cloaca which opens to the outside of the body.

Emerging from streams and ponds some 365 million years ago, the reptile ancestors established a beachhead during the Upper Devonian and eventually gave rise to myriad bizarre creatures, from gopher-sized cotylosaurs to the schooner-sized Brontosaurus. While many returned to the water, a few took to the air. But most remained on land to dominate the earth for some 200 million years.

Against the rough bark of the tree on the opposite page a gecko is almost invisible – a striking illustration of how the skin colors of many lizards match their backgrounds. Others can go even further, enhancing the effectiveness of their scaly and irregular shapes by means of dark-brown pigment cells which turn the skin lighter or darker as needed. Chameleons can even change color from gray to brown and green, and sometimes even yellow, in response to various stimuli. The East African chameleon seen above demonstrates its reaction to the changes in heat and light produced by a shadow; others show various hues from night to day, or when angered or alarmed. Lizards are the acknowledged masters of such color-changing. Some snakes have the ability, but use it only rarely and in a minor way.

The name beaded lizard is a good one, for the non-overlapping scales resemble Indian bead work. The eyes are small and lidded; the ear is externally visible. The tongue is dark and frequently flicked like that of a snake.
The cheek area of these species will appear swollen, as it is here that the poison glands lie. Unlike snakes, the injection mechanism is located in the lower jaw. The poison flows into the lizard’s mouth and seeps into the wound caused by the long teeth. Although the teeth are grooved, they do not effectively conduct the venom flow. Because the actual injection of venom is uncertain, the lizard must hold on to the victim to increase the possibility of injection, instead of simply striking like most poisonous snakes.
While these lizards are generally believed to be slow and lethargic, a Heloderma can turn quite rapidly and secure a good hold on anyone foolish enough to disturb one.
