Reptiles are unable to generate metabolic heat and regulate body temperature behaviorally depending on environmental conditions. The thermal quality of their habitat is therefore of pivotal importance for their survival. Lizards render themselves as ideal ectothermic models, and their thermal biology has been extensively studied.
