What problems do reptiles face in desert conditions and how do they cope with them?

They have to deal with heat, predators, food and water.

They can cope with heat, because they are cold blooded, and spend most time in the sun, then move to just a shaded spot.

They have horns or run fast on hind legs or look poisonus to escape predators eating them, and get enough food and water by plants and smaller animals, rain and oasis to let them live.

Life is tough in the desert, but they all cope.

Also, very few animals come out in the humid day with a boiling sun. They come out at night, when it is cool and plenty of food thrives.

There is also A LOT of food and animals in the day just after a good old rain, it changes from dry and baran and hot and humid to lovely, cool, blooming and thriving just over night!
