Bright Eyes And Scales: The body of a lizard is covered with scales, but the scales are not covered by a. delicate skin as they are in the snake. This gives many lizards a rough, spiny, or prickly feeling to the touch. The colors in the scales combine to form definite patterns or markings on the body of lizards. Lizards are cold-blooded creatures, hence feel cold to the touch.
Eyes: The majority of lizards in the United States have functional eyes with movable eyelids. The two exceptions are the geckos, which are night wanderers, and the rather rare xantusias or night lizards.
Fish is a nutritious and interesting food and the great variety of fish available and various methods of cooking mean that it should never be monotonous.
Whichever fish you buy, take care it is fresh—fresh fish is easily recognisable by bright eyes and scales, a pleasant fresh smell (it should never smell of ammonia) and the stiffness of the fish—it should never be 'flabby' and limp-looking. More detailed information is given under the various kinds of fish.
The body of the snake is covered with scales over which is a delicate skin. The colors in these scales combine to form definite patterns. A snake that is healthy and in good condition is glossy and shiny, but never slimy. It is cool to the touch because it is a cold-blooded animal.
Eyes: A snake does not have movable eyelids. There is an eye covering, however, which is a continuation of the skin and looks like a glass cap.
