"The crackled surface of deep green Russian serpentine resembles the amphibious skin of a reptile."

I will give you "resembles the skin of an amphibious reptile", which you might have meant, but I will not allow you to indicate that all reptiles have amphibious skin. Because NO.

I think their saying it resembles the bits of a reptile's skin that are amphibious. Maybe the skin on their knees can live both in and out of the water. Do you Know!?! Have you tested it?!? Why are you suppressing this vital information about iguana knees?!? WHAT IS YOUR AGENDA!?!?!

Oh look, here is the nurse with my nice pills and the coat that makes me hug myself. Gotta go!
