They can't. Unlike warm bloods, their body temperatures changes with the environment. So if its 35° outside, its body goes down to that temperature. That's why they only come out in the morning and early afternoon to bath their skin in the sun then retreat to their home at night.

A warm-blooded animal can regulate its body temperature internally, which allows it to be active in a wide range of environments and climates.
