What is a reptile? Reptiles are animals that are cold-blooded. Most reptiles lay eggs and their skin is covered with hard, dry scales. What does cold-blooded mean? Animals that are cold-blooded don't automatically maintain a constant body temperature. They have to lay out in the sun to keep their body heat up.
Reptiles are capable of recognizing people by voice, sight and smell; many are capable of learning. Some species actually benefit from interaction with humans. When cared for properly, all live as long or longer than mammalian pets of similar size. There is no generic reptile. Reptiles have adapted over time to an amazing range of habitats and lifestyles, from underground to the tops of trees, from below sea level â and in the sea â to high up in the mountains.
