Reptiles are cold-blooded, which means that their body temperature is controlled by their environment. If they are too cold, they will seek a place in the sun or near something warm, so that they can raise their body temperature. If they are too hot, they will seek shade.

Fish and reptiles both regulate their body temperature behaviorally by going to areas where the temperature fits their biochemical needs, eg. sunning on rocks to raise temperature, etc. Some fish and reptiles also hibernate when temperatures get too cold.
Snakes and crocodiles are reptiles. They are cold blooded animals. They can actually change their body temperature by becoming hotter when the outside temperature is warm and colder when the outside temperature is cool. This helps them to adapt to temperature difference.
Reptiles are cold blooded and require the atmospheric heat to regulate their internal body temperature. If the outside temperature were to decrease by 20 c the internal temperature of the reptile would decrease 20C.
Reptiles are cold blooded, therefore there Body/Blood temperature equalizes with their surrounding environment.
No, it isn't. They don't have any ability to regulate their own body temperature - they rely on an external source to raise their temperature to a suitable level.
it is an animal that's body temperature varies according to the temperature of its surroundings mainly fish and reptiles, it does not apply to birds or mammals as they are able to regulate there body temperature, were as reptiles for example will be the temperature of there surrounding this is why they have to bask in the sun to get warm.
Birds are warm-blooded/endothermic. Reptiles are not. They are cold-blooded/ectothermic. Reptiles such as snakes and terrapins must bathe in the sun to get their body temperature to an optimal. Birds can control their body temperature internally.
Burmese pythons are reptiles, and therefore cannot regulate their body temperature as we can. Their body temperature depends entirely on their environment.
Fish and reptiles both regulate their body temperature behaviorally by going to areas where the temperature fits their biochemical needs, eg. sunning on rocks to raise temperature, etc. Some fish and reptiles also hibernate when temperatures get too cold.
Reptiles' body temperature fluctuates according to their surrounding air temperature. In cold temperatures (pre-dawn) snakes will be torpid, and only active once the rising sun has warmed the snake up.
They don't. That is why they hibernate and lay out in the sun.
Snakes and crocodiles are reptiles. They are cold blooded animals. They can actually change their body temperature by becoming hotter when the outside temperature is warm and colder when the outside temperature is cool. This helps them to adapt to temperature difference.
Reptiles are poikilothermic, poikilothermic means that they can not regulate heat internally.This is why they are cold blooded and need to bask in the sun regularly to maintain body temperature
sunbathing
Reptiles are ectotherms and cannot raise their body temperature above that of the environment.
The three Vertebrate groups that have the same temperature as their surroundings are Fish, Reptiles, and Amphibians. That means they are all cold blooded.
Reptiles are cold-blooded animals. Their body temperature is usually about the same as the surrounding temperature. This is why they have to sun themselves in the morning to get warm as they become really cold at night.
