The crocodilians – the heavily armored crocodiles, alligators and gavials – are the largest of the modern reptiles and the last surviving reptilian descendants of the stock that also produced the dinosaurs. Although somewhat clumsy out of water, they are superbly equipped for living in it. They are strong swimmers, and experts at drifting along on the surface, submerged except for their bulging eyes and nostrils, their long flat jaws not even making a ripple in the water as they stalk turtles, swimming birds and fishes. The larger crocodiles can sometimes get close enough to animals on shore to sweep them – and humans – into deep water with their tails. Crocodilians have valves in their ears and nostrils to keep water out. Because their mouths lack lips and thus do not shut completely, two palatal flaps cover gullet and windpipe during dives.

Lanthanotus is considered by some herpetologists to be the closest living lizard relative of snakes.
Teeth not hollow. Ear concealed; eyelids present, the lower being clear. Tail longer than head or body, tapering. Six rows of enlarged tubercles along the dorsal surface, the dorsalmost pair running the length of the tail. Nostrils situated on upper surface of snout. Ventral scales squarish, arranged in rows.
As everyone has a favorite something-or-other, this lizards is my personal favorite. Long thought to be a poisonous lizard allied to the Gila monster, the earless monitor, Lanthanotus borneensis, has recently become available for study. It is not poisonous, as we expected. It is, however, one of the most lethargic of known animals, barely moving but a few inches in captivity. While its natural habitats are unknown, captives have been induced to accept egg yolk, fish, and earthworms. It does well in the water and may stay submerged for some time. The nostrils are specially equipped to close so that the animal is airtight while submerged and its tongue is bifid.

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.

Clumsy object that it is, the shell has helped ensure the survival of the turtles for 175 million years. Today it is still worn by all species, although it has been modified to suit a variety of environments. Sea turtles, for example, have jettisoned much of their shell bone and are among the fastest-moving of modern reptiles. Land turtles have thinned theirs down to make tiptoe locomotion on their elephantine feet less ponderous. Soft-shelled turtles, which live in fresh water, have developed pancake-shaped shells with flexible edges which they use to help bury themselves. Lying hidden in shallow water, waiting for prey, they occasionally crane their long necks to breathe air with their snorkel-like nostrils.

In this section I have tried to outline the more important elements used in establishing a system of effective classification and at the same time to enlighten the layman to the “little things” that are a very important part of making a lizard a lizard. Although this chapter is brief, it is as complete as space allows and as accurate as possible.
Skull
In general discussions about the head of an animal, the upper portion is referred to as the cranium, while the lower part consists of the mandible. In lizards the foremost bone of the mandible is the dentary; it is at the foremost point of the dentary bone that the two halves of the mandibles are firmly united (the symphysis). The mandible articulates with the cranium at the quadrate bone, located near the rear of the cranium. The coronoid bone juts up behind the dentary bone and fits into a socket formed by the pterygoid bones of the cranium. The distance from the tip of the snout to the coronoid intersection determines the gape of the lizard.
In the mandible, teeth are found on the dentary bone; in the cranium they may be on the maxillary, premaxillary, palatine, or pterygoid bones. The teethe themselves may be pleurodont (along the side of the bone) or acrodont (along the crest of the bone). On some lizards thecodont teeth (fitting into sockets) are found, but along with one of the other types. The teeth may be pyramidal, conidal, flat, bicuspid, or tricuspid. They can be quickly and frequently replaced.
Between the maxillary, premaxillary, and septomaxillary, bones is a large gap in the cranium. This is in effect the internal nasal arch through which the nostrils draw air through the skull into the mouth. Another gap exists a little behind this.

Not all mites are found on the exposed skin of your reptile pet. Some species get into the nostrils, others get into the trachea and lungs. This is a job for your veterinarian. Others lodge themselves near the sometimes moist area near the cloaca and around the base of the tail. This you can clear up by drying and disinfecting the cage.
Occasionally a recently imported iguana is found which is free of mites and ticks but is still wasting away, although eating well. This animal may be suffering from pin worms or other internal parasitic worms. His cloaca will be loaded with them and your veterinarian will be able to find them in the feces in the same way he examines dogs and cats. He may be able to treat your pet successfully. The problem is usually that the pet owner doesn’t recognize that there is a problem until the specimen is on the threshold of death.
If you wish to avoid problems like this, start with a bright eyed healthy animal and keep him clean and isolated from other animals which may be infested with parasites.
Your pet may not wear down his toenails as fast as they continue to grow. If you notice that they are twisting under or corkscrewing, you might do well to prune them a little. Go at it slowly until you find how far to clip without striking living tissue – the part of the nail nearest the toe is actually alive and is supplied with veins, arteries and nerves.
You should use a tool which cuts the nail but does not splinter it by crushing. For a young iguana, perhaps an ordinary fingernail clipper will suffice. Larger lizards will need the tool which is used for dogs. Perhaps you can buy one in your pet shop. You should not ever strike the “quick,” but if you do, you can stop the flow of blood with a styptic pencil – this is just alum and is available in your drugstore or from nearly any man who shaves with a razor. As with any minor wound, it can be treated with an antiseptic cream, but it will probably heal uneventfully regardless of whether you treat it or not.

Movement of the lizard’s head with the dewlap fully extended. With its mouth half open, the Iguana emits a hissing sound that seems to originate from deep within its oral cavity. To convey yet further hostility the lizard moves its tail slowly back and forth, resembling the movement of a snake and suggesting the idea that it is about to strike out with this weaponry. Although lacking prehensile capabilities in its tail, the iguana is endowed with voluntary control over the movement of almost the entire length of its tail. This last threatening display can be more than mere show. An adult iguana can induce pain with a forceful snap of its tail. The iguana has many small
Teeth. When the iguana bites, it sometimes clamps its jaws shut and shakes its head back and forth, similar to a dog tugging on a towel when playing with its master. Judging from the fierce behavior that the irate iguana exhibits, it might seem that its proficiency in the art of self- defense would render it invulnerable to many predators. The truth, however, is that an iguana probably would be defeated in a conflict with any but the smallest of
Warm-blooded animals. An unusual and sometimes
Exasperating behavior that appears to be unrelated to the iguana’s display of aggression is this lizard’s ability to emit a spray of a salty liquid from its nostrils. This spray may be inadvertently directed onto the iguana keeper’s face when feeding or otherwise tending to the lizard.
In captivity the iguana is a territorial reptile. A male specimen does not allow intruders of the same sex within his boundaries. If two adult males are forced to co exist, one probably will become dominant and harass the passive lizard with frequent hissing and biting. An iguana defending its territory sometimes rams the trespasser with its snout and bites on impact.
It is reasonably safe to assume that a male and female of similar size can be kept as a pair without incident. The females of the species appear to be more passive, which suggests that two or more females might feasibly be housed safely within the same residence. Collectively housing as many as a dozen hatch-lings harmoniously is possible.
