Think about where the reptiles live. Alligators, crocodiles ,caymans,Turtles (marine) , terrapins (freshwater). While those mentioned and some snakes may function in water, their skin may be wet at times but not soft and moist. Snakes (rattlers, copperheads etc.), lizzards may have dry and or softer skins (lizzards- Gila monsters, geckos, skinks). But at no time would the skin be considered soft and moist as an amphibians (frog or salamanders).. Reptiles do not naturally have moist skin if they live on land.
