The typical categorizing of reptiles is: lizards, crocodiles, turtles and snakes. However, this is very different to proper classification. There are four orders in Reptilia:
Crocodilia: Crocodilians
Contains 23 species.
Sphenodontia: Tuataras
Contains 2 species
Squamata: lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenids
Contains about 7,900 species
Testudines: turtles and tortoises
Contains about 300 species
8,225 all together!?!?!?! Awesome
