Do ANY reptiles have vocal cords? That would be interesting to know!

Geckos have vocal cords. To me, that makes it surprising that they’d be a popular pet, since most special sleep all day and creep around being noisy at night.

I don't know whether they have vocal cords that are exactly like mammalian vocal cords, but crested geckos bark when they are mating and occasionally when they are angry about something.
