Comparative and functional study of integumentary system of two different reptiles: adaptation to their different modes of life

ABSTRACT

Aim of the work the present study aimed to illustrate the structure and function of the integumentary system of two reptile's species [Bosc's fringe toed-lizard [Acanthodactylus boskianus, A. boskianus] and spotted fan-fingered gecko [Ptyodactylus guttatus , P. guttatus] and discussed the influence of different behaviors on their structure [keratinzation and pigmentation, claws, adhesion pads and sensory hairlets]
