Reptiles never stop growing and continue to grow throughout their entire lives.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that reptiles never stop growing and continue to grow throughout their entire lives?

Unclear. Only two items bear on the claim, and neither addresses reptiles: one notes that tailless whip spiders grow throughout life, and a peer-reviewed review describes indeterminate growth as widespread across many taxa. Both support a weaker, broader version of the claim but do not establish that reptiles specifically never stop growing.
