What causes legs and feet to turn purple?

I'm not certain but I believe that when you cut of the blood supply to a body part, the blood no longer gets pumped in and out of the area. The colour of blood without oxygen is purple. I believe that they turn purple because the blood supply has been cut and what blood is there has had all its oxygen absorbed. Due to the colour, it probably shows up through the skin easier.

Do reptile legs differ from amphibian legs?

It depends on the type of reptile and amphibian. Frogs and toads usually have shorter front legs with webbed feet with longer back legs that have more paddle shaped feet that are webbed together. Lizards usually have regular sized front legs but have longer back legs. Geckos have feet with millions and millions of adhesive hair hooks for them to climb on almost anything. Salamanders and newts usually have stubby legs that have webbed toes since they rely mostly on their tail for swimming and walking. Snakes of course have no feet and turtles usually have stubby clawed feet. Hope this helped!!!
