They eat a lot of insects and other arthropods, some of them are a plague to humans. The skin of reptiles like monitor lizards, snakes and crocodiles is used to make leather and the meat of a lot of reptiles is used as food. Many turtles are being used as a 'medicine' in Asia. And a lot of reptiles are sold as pets.
