October 21 is National Reptile Awareness Day which promotes education, conservation, and appreciation for reptiles.

Reptiles are cold-blooded, can lay eggs on land and have scales or scutes (thickened horny or bony plates on a turtle's shell or on the back of a crocodile). Examples are snakes, turtles, lizards, dinosaurs, chameleons, crocodiles, etc.

So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention any form of reptiles?
