Reptilian Scales
In lizards, the scales are on the epidermis and they tend to overlap.
In snakes, the scales are different sizes depending on where they are located on the body.
In Crocodilia and TU, there are special scales called scutes. They are located in a deeper dermis and they do not overlap
