What is different about reptiles and amphibians?
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that give birth to live young (with the exception of the platypus). They also feed their young with the mother's milk, and often have hair or fur on their bodies. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals (most do not produce their own body heat) that lay eggs instead of giving live birth (there are a few snakes that push this boundary). Reptiles usually have scales instead of hair or fur. Amphibians are also cold-blooded animals that lay eggs, but differ from reptiles because they spend much of their lives in water. For example, a land-faring toad begins life as a tadpole in water. Amphibians can also breathe through their skin, to a certain extent. Certain amphibians also have gills like fish do.
Why do reptiles have cold blood?
snakes are cold blooded because they are reptiles and have scales, if they were warm blooded they couldnt have scales and the venom keeps the venom poison..< What the crap? no dude. reptiles have cold blood because their internal organs do not need to be warm to function smoothly, and correctly. unlike mammels that generate our own body heat because we do need warm organs to operate smoothly. Cold-blooded animals, like reptiles, amphibians, and fish, become hotter and colder, depending on the the temperature outside. For example, when the sun sets at night, their bodies are cooler because it is less warm outside. When the sun is out, however, their bodies soak up the heat and become warmer.
Why are some animals referred to as cold blooded?
Mammals are warm blooded, reptiles and amphibians are cold blooded.Mammals can regulate their own body temperature and are therefore said to be warm blooded, while reptiles rely on the sun to raise their body temperature (hence the reason why you see lizards 'sunbathing') and are therefore said to be cold blooded

Having a body temperature that changes as the outside temperature changes?
If your talking about YOU changing body temperature, then that's impossible because your warm-blooded; meaning that you produce your own heat. But other animals: such as fish, reptiles, and amphibians are unable to produce their own heat, so they rely on the outside temperature to regulate their body temperature. This is why snakes usually lay on rocks in the sun during morning, they are warming their bodies. Then during the heat of the day, they escape to a shady area to cool off.
Are dinosaurs closer to amphibians than to reptiles?

Are lizard coldblooded or warmblooded?

How do most reptiles act?
Most reptiles like to sunbask for a good portion of the day because they cannot produce their own heat.
