Geckoes has hairs and ridges on their fingers and toes that let them climb up any surface - even glass!

Most lizards are capable of regenerating lost tails, but not other body parts (you wouldn't grow back a leg, for instance)

Lizards can be really fast. The basilisk, also known as the Jesus Christ lizard, moves fast enough to run across small bodies of water!

Chameleons can look in two directions at once, and have long, sticky tongues that can dart out and retract in a fraction of a second.

Two lizards (beaded lizard and gila monster) have venom glands. The komodo dragon, on the other hand, lets masses of necrotic bacteria in it's saliva do the trick.

Hope these give you some ideas!

Lizards can run fast for a short period of time. They can catch a bug that is running.
Some snakes constrict, i.e. coil around their prey to suffocate them.
Some snakes, called pit vipers, have a "pit" in each side of the face, which detects heat. They use this to locate small warm-blooded animals in the dark.
All reptiles and amphibians can stay so still and motionless that it is hard to see them, even when they are in plain sight.
Snakes can squeeze through a very small opening.
Amphibians can breathe fairly well under water, though they need some air.
Some reptiles can go into a trance and hold their breath for up to half an hour. So if they get swept into the water and can't get out, they float until they float to shore and wake up. I have seen a lizard do this, and it puffed up with air to make itself float better. The first time I saw this, it scared me, I thought the lizard had died.
Reptiles and amphibians can get more energy if they can get warmer, but cooler temperatures make them sleepy.
Gecko lizards can climb up glass or walk along the ceiling.
Iguanas can whack their enemies with their tails.

the respond is a frog. yea, a turtle is a amphbian, yet its not as much as a frog. snake, in straightforward terms some snakes are amphibaious. not all. a crodilw is extra of a reptile. and then, think of roughly it. once you're saying reptile, you thinks of a lizard. once you're saying amphibian, you think of of a frog. (or some thing of the like)

Up until recently, I had been an avid venomous reptile keeper. Snakes are the way to go. Venom, legless, elastic jaws.

Of the venomous snakes, rattlesnakes are thought to be the most derived form. Advanced venom delivery, no pelvic process, and modified tail scales which form the rattles.

amphibians and reptiles are different.
amphi's can breathe through their thin wet skin, they cn hold their breath for ages, some live underwater all the time, they metamorphose through very different stages.

lizards can withstand huge heat, they can whip rival s with their tails, change sex, bob up and down, inflate frills round their head, change colour, etc.

Amphibians and reptiles are different things.
