while he and his empire sit on top of billions if not trillions of dollars worth of gold, jewels, property etc, and people around the world, hell in his own back yard, are starving, do you really think he should be beyond satire? untouchable? because he gave over the radio, fortune-cookie advice that you were able to apply to your own life?

I listened to a speech he gave once and it really turned my life around. I was going to run away from something but didn’t because he’s so full of hope and so kind and gentle and really seems like a nice person and he said some very encouraging things. He’s really lovable and uplifting.

I could be wrong about exactly which grouping they are in (Maybe Order Squamata and Suborder Serpentes as opposed to Subclass and Order), but they are more closely related than say turtles and lizards. Nonetheless, a snake is still not a lizard. And no, birds and mammals are not included in the Class Reptilia, but both evolved separately from it.

Are you saying that the category of “reptiles” contains mammals and birds and crocs?
Evolutionary biology was a while ago but my understanding was that reptiles contains
Lizards
Snakes
Crocs and
Turtles
And depending on who you talk to, birds.
Mammals and amphibians are in different categories.. and then the fishy things have a category too. I did some poking on the internet and it seems to agree with me. [LINK] The site does say that Reptiles is becoming and invalid category, but not yet.
Can you clarify or cite a site?

It includes too many subgroups (mammalia, aves, archosauria, etc) to place it in one group. Even if it were polyphyletic, snakes and lizards (lepidosauria i think?) are in diffferent subtaxa.

The bite wounds often turn gangrenous because of this bacteria.

Could be wrong, no time to look it up right now.

Just because they all belong to the reptile family doesn’t make them all lizards.

“… the lizard venom system is thought to be restricted to just two species and to have evolved independently from the snake venom system”
which seems to agree with me that there are only two venomous lizards.
“Here we report the presence of venom toxins in two additional lizard lineages (Monitor Lizards and Iguania)”
So it seems that where we are stuck is the “venom toxins”.
Do venom toxins = venom? Since the article is making the distinction, I would tend to say no, but then again I’m not a … lizardologist. And certainly not a Venomous Lizardologist. I just grew up in the southwest with these stupid things and had Venomous Things Not to Touch 101 all the way through high school.
However, I believe we can all agree that whether there are two species or several species… The Frilled Pope Lizard is venomous and needs to be put on the national watch list.
