Peter Bee Fish and Reptile, Krugersdorp

A reptile habitat varies greatly from one species to the next. Because reptiles are so diverse and have adapted to so many different climates, the areas they strive in also differ greatly. Like amphibians, reptiles often make their home around water and lay eggs. But reptiles and amphibians also differ in many ways. Reptiles lay their eggs on land, have waterproof skin, and can rarely breathe underwater. Amphibians lay their eggs in water, have permeable skin, and can often breathe underwater.
