Reptiles or animals that are ectotherms such as lizards,snakes & crocodiles gain their warmth from sunlight. That is why they are very energetic after lazing around in the sun.

Would you expectecotherms to be more active at higher temperatures?

I am assuming you mean Ectotherm? Ectotherms are animals that rely on the environmental temperature for their metabolism VS Endotherms that produce their own body heat. Ectotherms become more active in warmer temperatures and sluggish in cooler ones. The exact temperature that affects metabolism is different for different species, so this answer is in general terms. Yes, Ectotherms become more active at higher temperatures. But like Endotherms can be killed by temperature extremes. Some examples of Ectotherms would be most fishes, reptiles, arachnids and the like.

Which is more active at night endotherm or ectotherm?

endotherms are more likely to be active at night as they produce their own heat source, therefore could potentially be active at any time day or night (such as humans). Whereas Ectotherms have to reply on external heat sources to increase the body temperature and therefore activity levels (such as lizards). Consequently at night they are unlikely to be very active as it's generally cooler.
