Reptiles can't keep warm all by themselves. They are ectothermic which meens they are cold blooded. That meens that they need the sun or somthing elses heat to keep warm. Whatever their surrounding climates temperature is is what the reptiles temperature is. They will lose energy and may die in the cold.
