When the temperature of the environment changes the body temperature of a reptile?

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature. ^^^^^^^^^^^ Actually when the temperature of the enviroment changes, the body temperture of a reptile changes wih it. You wouldn't see the temperature decrease in a reptile when the enviroments temperature increases would you? Remember a reptile is cold blooded, so this question is a fairly easy one to answer. The answer "It will always decrease :)" Is WRONG. That is one thing that is really easy to see. So yeah. When the temperature of the enviroment changes, the body temperature of a reptile changes. And even though I might have bad grammer and spelling, I know what I'm saying.


How can I ensure precise temperature control for my reptile's enclosure using a heat lamp with thermostat?

To ensure precise temperature control for your reptile's enclosure using a heat lamp with a thermostat, you should place the thermostat probe at the same level as your reptile's body, away from direct heat sources, and adjust the thermostat settings based on your reptile's specific temperature needs. Regularly monitor the temperature inside the enclosure to ensure it stays within the desired range for your reptile's health and well-being.

Reptile red blood cells are also oval-shaped whereas mammalian red blood cells are typically circular.
