Yi Cheng Hero Reptile Texture Fountain Pen

Reptile skin is comprised of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis.

Epidermis is characterized by complete covering of keratin (the same stuff that makes up mammalian hair and mammalian, avian, and reptilian nails/claws also makes up the plates we call "scales"). The keratin may be thick, as on the belly and tail, or thin, as on the dewlap. The hard spikes on such lizards as bearded dragons and horned lizards are just harder bits of integument, as are the keeled ridges on many snakes' scales and some lizards, such as some iguanas.

The keratin is composed of many layers of very thin, flat cells. The closer they get to the surface of the reptile, the more highly compacted they are as they are pressed against by new keratin cells being formed lower down in the epidermal layer, the stratum germinativum. Three such layers of increasingly compacted keratin cells are formed, called, from the surface inward toward the stratum germinativum, the Oberhautchen layer, the beta-keratin layer, and the alpha-keratin.

Yi Cheng has found this pen to mimic the Reptile Skin and hope you will like this nice pen. A suitable gift for reptile lover!
