Reptiles are sexual animals and are the group that introduced internal fertilization to the vertebrate line. Thus, in a manner of speaking, they laid the foundation for the family unit in higher vertebrates, and from this came human society itself, with all its excitement and troubles. The ancestral amphibians deposited their eggs virtually naked in the water, and fertilized them by simply releasing sperm in the general vicinity. The hazards of such an informal operation to both sperm and egg are obvious. The reptilian egg, however, enters the world already fertilized, and packaged against a certain amount of environmental adversity. One need only compare the dozen or so eggs laid by the average lizard with the thousands laid by toads to see the great economy the new method has brought.
But even an egg with a shell is delicate. It can incubate successfully only within a narrow range of conditions of temperature, humidity and concealment. It is thus not surprising to find that a few reptiles have independently hit upon the recourse that we think of as one of the main attributes of the mammals – that of producing living young. All the live-bearing reptiles of modern times are lizards and snakes.

A clear luster, but some genera, notably Trachydosaurus and Tribolonotus, have rough or keeled scales. Many forms lack limbs or possess but one pair; there may be five or fewer fingers.
Probably the most problematic genus has been Lygosoma, practically world-wide in distribution and having all stages of limb development. The genus Eumeces is common in the United States and includes the golden Great Plains skink, E. obsoleta, a foot-long lizard of the central states. Trachydosaurus rugosus looks like an animated pair of pinecones, having large scales and a tail resembling the head. The family giant is Corucia zebrata, a two-foot long tree dweller of the Solomon Islands.
The skinks are active, often nervous lizards. They hide under large boulders or in other inaccessible spots but sometimes take to hilly woodsides. They are mainly insectivorous but many also eat plants.

To date, only one living lizard is known to be marine. This is the Galapagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus. Found most often on the rocky shores of its island home, this lizard will forage in the ocean for its meal of seaweed. This lizard is not a very good swimmer, merely adequate. It can reduce its heartbeat and other bodily functions, probably as an aid in adjusting to the two environments in which it lives.While Amblyrhynchus is unique in being marine, there exist many aquatic or semiaquatic lizards.

Species of Sauromalus and Dipsosaurus are plant eaters, as opposed to the smaller insect-eating Phrynosoma and Anolis. One of the largest of the lizard genera belongs in this family. Anolis comprises at least three hundred species, most no more than a foot in length. They are most widely distributed in the Caribbean and South America and are generally arboreal. A few forms, such as Anolis allogus and A. aquaticus, are found on rocks near streams, into which they dive at the first sign of danger. The members of this genus are sometimes called chameleons, a name rightfully belonging to an African family only distantly related. Nevertheless, many of these species, and a good many lizards of other genera, have to a small extent the ability to change colors. To this genus, too, belong a good many species with gecko-like toe pads allowing very interesting acrobatic feats.

At the time of this writing work is being done to determine if the two similar groups formerly known as Dibamidae and Anelytropsidae should be united. Because they are so similar, I have decided to incorporate them here but will provide descriptions which divide the two genera. Functional limbs absent. Tongue short, slightly nicked, and covered with papillae. Palate toothless. Arches absent. Pelvic and pectoral girdles greatly reduced. Eyes and ears concealed by skin. Teeth few, recurved, conical.
The genus Anelytropsis contains one species, A. papillosus. Interorbital septum and columella cranii well developed. Premaxillary bone single. Osteoderms present. No sign of external limbs. This lizard is fossorial and is found in east-central Mexico. It is a fleshy brown above and yellowish below. It has been caught only a very few times and remains known from a dozen specimens. Its diet is suspected to consist of ants and termites.
Dibamus is a genus of some six species distributed in the East Indies between India and New Guinea. The interorbital septum and columella cranii are absent. Premaxillary paired. Osteoderms absent. Males have vestigial traces of hindlimbs. They are usually an olive drab color. These lizards are very slender bodied, secretive, forest-dwelling fossorial animals. They lay hard-shelled eggs, sometimes in communal sites, and are insect eaters.

To this group belong the true monitors, the true monitors, the true giants among lizards. The largest living lizard is Varanus komodoensis, the Komodo dragon of Indonesia, while Varanus salvator may be as long, if not as heavy. At the other extreme are Varanus brevicauda and V. gilleni, both of Australia and both under a foot in length. In all monitors there are four powerful limbs equipped with five sharp claws. The eyelids are present and the ear is exposed. The snout and neck are long, as are the teeth. The tongue is long, bifid, and protrusible.

This acts in the same manner that a snake would, only slower. It is also a fossorial form, having been found underground as often as in water. These lizards are nocturnal beasts, but even then they move very little. Although the eyelids are functional, the lizard almost always elects to view his world through the spectacle in the lower eyelid. The tail appears segmented and is somewhat prehensile; whether or not Lanthanotus climbs is unknown. The color is reddish brown above, while below it is mottled pale orange and yellow.

The typical lizards, whose family name means as much (lacerta is Latin for lizard). The lizards are an Old World family, being particularly abundant in Europe and Africa. Takydromus sexlineatus extends eastward into Southeast Asia. All the genera have limbs. The upper temporal fossa is roofed over or else greatly reduced. Osteoderms may occur on the head. The power of autotomy is present. Teeth hollow at the base. There are about twenty recognized genera.
Takydromus has a typical lacertilian body, but the tail may be several times the length of the head and body. Acanthodactylus has fringes on the toes to help it maneuver in the deserts of Africa and Arabia where it leaves.

Easily the largest lizard family in numbers, species, and range, skinks occur everywhere a lizard can, except in the sea. Skinks are unique among lizards in having a secondary palate. Osteoderms are present. Frontal bones distinct except in the Feylininae; this subfamily (often considered a full family, Feyliniidae) also lacks the jugal bone and is viviparous or oviparous. Skinks have movable eyelids, except for Ablepharis, which has a clear spectacle. In addition, the lizards formerly classified as the full family Feyliniidae are now included in the Scincidae by most herpetologists; this group includes forms lacking both functional eyes and eyelids. Ear openings are usually present, as is the power of autotomy. The scales are usually smooth.

This small family has not yet been seriously allied with any other group, so it maintains the distinctiveness of its own family status. There are but two species, one with two subspecies, found only in California and Baja California. They are limbless lizards lacking an external ear but possessing eyelids and functional eyes. They are very thin bodied, and a giant may be nine inches long. The upper temporal arch is absent. Osteoderms reduced, the scales smooth and subequal. The head is conical, the upper jaw extending far beyond the lower. The tongue is smooth, dark, bifid, and protrusible. Columella cranii absent.
Teeth few, large, recurved, resembling those of Heloderma. The taxa are as follows: silvery legless lizard, Anniella pulchra pulchra; black legless lizard, A. pulchra nigra; and Geronimo legless lizard, A. geronimensis.
These lizards are fossorial and prefer loose soil near moisture, such as beaches. They feed on small invertebrae animals including earthworms. The species are known to be viviparous.
