Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold
Reptiles, like amphibians, are ectotherms (what used to be called "cold-blooded"). This means that they can't produce sufficient internal heat to maintain a constant body temperature. Instead, reptiles' body temperature varies, depending on the surrounding temperature. Though some reptiles can generate enough internal heat to raise their temperature for a specific purpose -- like female pythons brooding their eggs -- though they cannot maintain this temperature for long.
