Turtle   

Paint turtles always mate in the water. During the courtship of the box turtle, the male bites the females head. Sea turtles must lay their eggs on land. Fresh water turtles lay their eggs in the moist dirt of  the marshes. Turtle scales called scutes fall 0ff when they molt.

Snakes

When snakes molt, they leave their skin behind in one piece. The king cobra's diet is mice, other snakes, and chipmunks. The Burmese python is capable of eating a full grown alligator. When a King Cobra feels threatened, it spreads out its "hood."     

 

Alligators/Crocodiles

The alligator and the crocodile are different. One reason why is, an alligator has a bent nose and a crocodiles have a pointy noses. Alligators mostly live in salt water, and crocodiles live in fresh water in Australia. The alligators and  crocodiles are not known to attack humans.(  For your safety.)
