All crocodilians guard their nests. Crocodilians also assist the hatchlings as they emerge from their nests, and will guard them for a while after hatching.

Lizards reach sexual maturity based on size, more than chronological age. Small lizards may become reproductively active at 1-2 years of age, while larger lizards may be 3-4 years old

Males have 2 copulatory organs called hemipenes, one on each side of the base of the tail. Either one of the two hemipenes may be used for internal fertilization.

Urination does not occur through the hemipenes.

The tissue is not erectile either.

Female lizards have paired ovaries and oviducts. Ovaries vary in size.

The oviducts possess both an albumin-secreting function and a shell-secreting function. There is no true uterus. The oviducts connect to and open directly into the cloaca through papillae.
