Are all dinosaurs reptiles?

All reptiles are diapsids. Mammals (like you and I) are, in contrast, synapsids. So in that respect all reptiles are alike. However, I would not say they were all alike. Snakes are reptiles but lack limbs. Alligators are also reptiles, as are lizards. Tuatara, gavials, amphisbaenids, and tortoises each represent one of the four main modern orders of reptiles. They share some characteristics--just as you and I do, but I would not say they were all alike.


Are there any warm blooded reptiles?

Yes and No. As of now, there are no living, warm blooded reptiles (except perhaps birds). But there were warm blooded Reptiles. The Dinosaurs were warm blooded, the reason why we know this is because of there natural size. Science dictates that to reach that sice they had to have two things, 1 extra oxygenated air and 2 a self sufficient internal heating source. edit: this is untrue. Leatherback turtles are warm blooded, strangly enough. So yes, there is one type of warm blooded reptile.
