Reptiles are Classified as Vertebrates! Vertebrate means they have a Backbone or a Spinal Cord. We have a Backbone! we use it mainly for support and supports our rib cage! Reptiles also have Scales, or Scaly Skin that keeps them from dying out when they are in heat, which is were most reptiles live! Reptiles Lay eggs like birds, but not with a nest! (L.O.L) Laying Eggs is how they give birth! Dinosaurs, for example are considered Reptiles because they lay eggs and have scaly skin, and are also Vertebrate like humans!
