How Their Young Are Born
All reptiles are born from eggs. Reptiles are born in eggs on land. " their large, yolky eggs have a protective layer called an amnion which prevents them from drying out on land." (Taken from: http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/reptile.aspx) "All egg-laying reptiles have adapted strategies that allow them to lay their eggs in suitable areas in the wild. Even desert species know that in order to prevent their eggs from quickly desiccating, the eggs must be laid in deep, moist burrows, protected from the blazing sun. Likewise tropical animals must find suitable nesting spots that will provide constant temperature, but without allowing the eggs to become to moist."
