Reptiles are cold-blooded, so as it gets warmer their blood heats up which enables them to move around more. If they remained cold, the blood would clot around their bodies turning to a sort of sludge stopping their muscles from working as they have no 'fuel'. This is why they are better suited to deserts.

Hope I helped! ;D

Do reptiles hibernate?

Some reptiles, like certain species of turtles and snakes, undergo a period of dormancy called brumation during the colder months, which is similar to hibernation. During brumation, their metabolic rate slows down, and they become less active to conserve energy until warmer temperatures return. However, not all reptiles hibernate.

Why are reptiles not very active during cold weather?

Reptiles are a class of animals know as cold-blooded. This means they can't regulate their temperature by themselves. Mammals, being warm-blooded will sweat or pant when they get warm or shiver when they get cold. Reptiles can't do either of these. So when it gets cold, they become sluggish. Reptiles are not very active during cold weather because it is to cold for them too move. They like to stay warm instead.
