Order Crocodylia. I think they are some of the most awesome animals on the planet. Not only do they still look much like their archosaurian ancestors from the Triassic period, but they also give you an idea of what dinosaurian faces may have looked like. They also have interlocking teeth, which you rarely see in diapsida, they are some of the biggest reptiles on Earth, they can actually gallop, they are possibly the most intelligent non-avian diapsids alive, and they are incredibly well adapted to their environment. The crocodylian heart is actually four-chambered like a bird or mammal heart and unlike the less efficient three-chambered hearts of most sauropsids. And certain crocodiles can survive for over a year without food. Simply amazing creatures.

Squamata.

I used to have an Asian Water Monitor, an Iguana, and a Savanna Monitor.
