Snakes are not able to regulate their own body temperature and rely entirely on the environment to keep their body heat. They will do this by basking in the sun to absorb the heat and moving to cooler or warmer areas depending on the temperature.
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.
A mom cat may pant while nursing her kittens because the act of nursing can be physically demanding and increase her body temperature. Panting helps her regulate her body temperature and cool down.

Thermoregulation
Puppies regulate their body temperature by panting, seeking shade, and staying hydrated. They also rely on their fur to insulate them from extreme temperatures.
It is not the best method of measuring body temperature. Dogs don't sweat to reduce their body heat, but they evaporate water they breath out through their mouth to reduce temperature (panting) This means that the mouth temperature is constantly changing depending on whether the dog is panting. It is more accurate to take temperature from inside the anus.
A snakes body temperature is directly related to that of its surroundings.
It is not steady, so to get it to the right temprature, the amphibian sits in the sun.

Yes.
Yes, puppies can regulate their body temperature effectively through behaviors like seeking warmth or shade, panting, and adjusting their position to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Why is our body temp. 98.6 or why do we get fevers? 98.6 is because that's the way we have evolved. Birds are 102. That works for them. If we didn't have a steady temperature, we would be cold blooded like snakes and lizards. Fevers? A fever is usually a response to an infection. The body working to get rid of the infection and the poisons from the infection can mess with the body ability to regulate the temperature.
