Nervous system in reptiles:

Reptiles have larger eyes which helps them see brighter when getting their prey.  

All reptiles, except for snakes can hear.  Snakes have a tympanic membrane, also known as inner ear. 

Snakes have a organ called the Jacobson's organ, this organ is located on the roof of the snakes mouth and it uses its tongue to bring in scents.

Reptiles have pits underneath their eyes, they see heat signatures which helps when detecting their prey.

Reptiles have the same size brain as amphibians but reptiles have a larger cerebrum and optic lobe.
