They are reptiles, animals that can adapt well to hot temperatures due to their cardiovascular system, just like their 'brothers' the lizards. It's skin is rough and can slide well on desert surfaces, the way a snake can move called 'sidewinding' is partucularly handy on sand dunes for example. They get moisture from digested prey. They are colour camouflaged in the desert.
