belong to reptiles, and from the characteristics of body temperature changes, they belong to poikilotherms, that is to say, their body temperature will change according to the changes of external environment temperature. In winter, when the temperature drops, the lizard's body temperature will also be affected. How lizards survive the winter depends on the specific local temperature. Many lizards live in tropical areas, or subtropical areas near tropical areas, where winter temperatures are not particularly low, when lizards can hunt as they do in other seasons, but their activity will be affected.

The other is lizards that live in temperate and frigid regions, where winter temperatures are generally lower. At this time, the lizard will enter a state of hibernation due to the influence of the surrounding temperature. When the temperature drops to a relatively low range, lizards will look for a suitable place to spend the winter in advance, generally in a relatively hidden cave, which can not only escape the killing of natural enemies, but also be relatively warm. If they hibernate, lizards generally do not eat throughout the winter, and their own energy consumption is relatively small.

2. Do lizards need to hibernate? As mentioned

above, the way lizards spend the winter is closely related to the local temperature, that is to say, whether lizards hibernate is related to the specific temperature. If lizards live in places where the temperature is higher in winter, they will not hibernate. If lizards live in temperate zones or even frigid zones, the temperature in winter is relatively low, at which time lizards will enter hibernation because their body temperature is affected.

When lizards are in hibernation, they can't continue to grow and develop. Therefore, if you breed lizards as your pets, you can properly warm up in winter to prevent lizards from hibernating. Specifically, there are many ways to heat up, you can put it directly near the heating, or buy an infrared bulb, heater and other tools.
