Do reptiles have vocal cords?

Hi just a question that happen to pop in my head just now. I've just realized that every reptile I have ever been interested in, apparently have no vocal cords. None of them, have I heard a single sound out of. I'm talking from chameleons, snakes to lizards. Just out of curiousity, is their any reptiles, such as the ones I mentioned, that have vocal cords, and actually use them? And I'm not talking about hissing

Also, do diurnal reptiles have color vision?

snakes do not have vocal cords the only noise they can make is hissing and that is because air is quickly released or taken in through the snake's mouth creating the noise you hear.
