Here one will find information on today's living alligators & crocodiles, turtles & tortoises, snakes & lizards, tuataras and the enigmatic amphisbaenians. Just click on the links below to be taken to the reptile group of your choice.

| Amphisbaenia | The 3rd and most cryptic "suborder" of squamates, find out the real story of these "worm lizards." |
