====<u>'''A Heraldic Primer: Reptiles...'''</u>==== 
[[http:''heraldry.sca.org/primer/reptiles.html]] (originally by Stephen Gold, now defunct - older version here -http:''home.comcast.net/~cwest222/heraldicprimer/index.html)
Though uncommon, it is not unheard of to find reptiles and amphibians in heraldy. The most commonly found of these is the serpent or snake, which is seen either ‍nowed (or knotted) or erect.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">(Restricted, Reserved, SFPP, OOP)</span>

'''<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">From the May 2002 LoAR:</span>'''
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">"The SCA has general precedents against registering inverted animate charges unless they are part of a radially symmetrical group such as in annulo. These precedents are on the grounds that such inverted animals are generally not readily identifiable, and they are not found in period heraldry. However, the SCA also has a registration tradition of allowing animals which are usually found in a tergiant posture to be registered in the tergiant inverted posture. "</span>
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">"There is very little period evidence for tergiant inverted animals in heraldry."</span>
<span style="background-color: #ffffff;">"As a result, inverting a tergiant charge is acceptable as long as it does not otherwise violate any basic heraldic principles, including the requirement for identifiability. Because of the lack of period evidence for tergiant inverted charges, the posture will be considered a clear step from period practice (also known informally as a "weirdness") for any charge that cannot be found in this posture in period."</span>

For alligators and crocodiles there is not a significant difference between the statant/passant and couchant/dormant postures.
