When the temperature of the environment changes the body temperature of a reptile?

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.

Actually when the temperature of the enviroment changes, the body temperture of a reptile changes wih it. You wouldn't see the temperature decrease in a reptile when the enviroments temperature increases would you? Remember a reptile is cold blooded, so this question is a fairly easy one to answer. The answer "It will always decrease :)" Is WRONG. That is one thing that is really easy to see. So yeah. When the temperature of the enviroment changes, the body temperature of a reptile changes.
And even though I might have bad grammer and spelling, I know what I'm saying.

∙ 10y agoReptiles are coldblooded creatures. This causes their body temperature to rise and fall with the ambient temperature. Therefore, when the temperature of the environment changes the body temperature of the reptile will move with it.

What is the blood temperature of a reptile?
Reptiles are cold blooded, therefore there Body/Blood temperature equalizes with their surrounding environment.
What is the temperature of a lizard?
A lizard is a reptile so there for its body temp. changes to room temp.
Will the body temperature of snakes changes with the environment?
Yes.
What do you callan animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment?
ectotherms
What is the name for animals that its body temperature changes with?
Cold blooded animals cannot regulate their own body temperature. Therefore, it changes with their environment.
What is an exampl of an ectotherm?
Any animal whose body temperature is regulated by it's environment (reptile, some fish, etc.)
Are sea turtles endotherms or ectotherms?
Ectotherms their body temperature changes with the environment
What is the process of maintaining a relatively constant internal environment despite changes in the external environment despite changes in the external environment is called?
Homeostasis, which is the maintenance of the conditions in the cell or within the body that maintain life, despite changes that may be occurring on the outside of the body. Such as temperature. The body will maintain a internal temperature of approx. 98*6 even if it is 108 degrees or -20 below outside the body.
When the temperature of its environment changes temperature of a snake?

What changes air temperature?
Air temperature changes because of the body heat we give off into he earth. So if you give body heat the environment make colussem tissues underground and cause the weather to change. Your welcome...
whose body temperature does not change much even when the temperature of the environment changes is called?
Animals whose body temperatures do not change much despite the temperature of the environment changing are called ectotherms. This ability allows some animals to live in harsh environments.
What is the difference between an ectotherm and an endothermic?
Ectotherm- an animal whose body temperature changes with the temperature of its surrounding environment. Endotherm- an animal whose body temperature does not change with its surrounding environment. Ectotherms are animals like snakes and lizards that change their body temp with the ambient temperature. Endotherms are humans and other mammals like birds that keep there body temperature the same no matter what the climate is like. The process of homeostasis regulates our body temperature through negative feedback. For example, when our body temperature decreases due to the cold environment, we shiver to increase the body temperature. When the body temperature increases, we sweat to decrease the body temperature.
