Detailed explanation-1: -All snakes are reptiles. Reptiles are ectothermic, which means they obtain body heat from their surroundings (also called cold-blooded). They bask in the sun to warm and seek shade to cool.

Detailed explanation-2: -Snakes, like all reptiles, are cold-blooded (also known as ectothermic). This means they regulate their body temperature by lying in the sun to warm up, or moving into the shade to cool down.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ectotherms depend mainly on external heat sources, and their body temperature changes with the temperature of the environment. Animals exchange heat with their environment through radiation, conduction-sometimes aided by convection-and evaporation.

Detailed explanation-4: -ectotherm, any so-called cold-blooded animal-that is, any animal whose regulation of body temperature depends on external sources, such as sunlight or a heated rock surface. The ectotherms include the fishes, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -In vertebrates, endothermy is typically associated with birds and mammals while fishes, amphibians, and reptiles are generally typified as ectotherms.
