This was HARD!! Please drop any recs you have
Maybe Venomous by Christie Wilcox? It’s not just reptile and amphibians but they play a starring role!

Thank you!!
Dinosaurs are reptiles, right?

well now that i think about it, weren't they more closely related to birds?? are we entering controversial topic territory
Also, that's an interestingly raised eyebrow!
Okay, some peer-reviewed academic content 🙂
"Reptiles include four main lineages: (1) turtles, (2) lizards and snakes, (3) crocodilians, and (4) dinosaurs, including birds. Indeed, birds are reptiles – birds are a surviving lineage descended from bipedal predatory dinosaurs!"

not an academic article! I love it!! This is iconic, you are iconic. There were so many fun scientific articles I wish I could have added to the list lol but not enough books):
