Animalexpert Answer:

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
