reptiles in the rainforets

Question
Why are most reptiles in the rainforest carnivores?

Answer
Actually, that depends on the rainforest.  Usually you will have a variety of all sorts, from carnivores like crocodilians, many insectavores and herbivores like iguanids.

Carnivores are most seen because they stay on land, catching what they can, while herbivores will be found in the canopy.
