Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates.(Vertebrates have
backbones.) They have dry skin covered with scales or bony
plates and usually lay soft-shelled eggs.

The skin of reptiles is cover by these scales that help

them get protected tears and injuries towards the skin

Like carnivorous reptiles, herbivorous reptiles cannot chew
to speed digestion. Instead, they swallow rocks and pebbles,
which slosh about in the gut to help break down food by
grinding it.
 Reproductive behavior

Reptiles when looking for a mate may

wagging their tails, mouth gaping,
inflation, body posture, head bobs, “push
ups” and even changing their colors! But
that’s only for a few species
 Seasonal changes
Since reptiles are cold blooded their
temperature can rather rise or fall when the
environment changes.

So if the reptile is cold it is because the

environment around them made their blood
cold so they will lay in the sun to warm up!
