What reptiles have a third eye?

Answer 1

This describes the tuatara of New Zealand.

It does not have three eyes that all have vision capabilities. The third eye is called the parietal eye. Although it has a lens, retina and nerve connection, it is not functional as an eye. it grows on top of the reptile's head, under the skin, and is not visible. Scientists have not been able to determine the function of this third eye, but it is thought that light falling on this third eye may influence certain biological functions such as sleep and hibernation.

Answer 2

Lizards only have two true eyes, like all vertebrates. However, there is an organ referred to as the "third eye." It is actually the parietal eye, and it is sensitive to light. A lizard can't see using the parietal eye, though. It is light sensitive because it regulates the lizard's circadian rhythm, and it sets itself using sunlight.
