Artist's notes:

Reptiles were some of the first animals I started drawing. They were also the first animals that I felt started getting noticed online, especially turtles. The more reptiles I drew, the more people seemed to be interested in the illustrations. As I became more involved with the community, I started doing reptile shows (mostly with http://www.upscalereptiles.com/) in and around the Bay Area. My association with the East Bay Vivarium also encouraged me to draw more reptiles. At this time, I'm approaching nearly 100 different reptiles! I try and complete as many different snakes, chameleons, turtles, lizards and alligators as I can, but if you'd like to suggest a species, I'd be glad to hear it. Please drop me an email!

Information about Reptiles:

Reptiles are vertebrates which are  characterized by being air breathing, laying eggs with shells, and being covered by scales or scutes. They cannot regulate their blood temperature, and are often referred to as 'cold-blooded.' In order to regulate their body temperature, reptiles must bask in the sun or find another source of heat in order to become active. Also, if they become too warm, they must retreat into a cool place to lower their body temperature. Reptiles are found on all continents except Antarctica.  With the class Reptilia there are four orders: Crocodilia (crocodiles, gavials, caimans, and alligators), Sphenodontia (tuataras from New Zealand), Squamata (lizards, snakes, and worm lizards) and Testudines (turtles and tortoises) Unlike amphibians, reptiles do not have an aquatic larval stage. Most reptiles lay eggs, but some species do give birth to live offspring. There are more than 6,500 different species of reptile alive today.
