Would putting some kind of coat help keep a reptile on a desired

>>2246815
no

>>2246815
It would reduce heat loss by conduction but not radiation but radiation is very slow.

>>2246827
bullshit

Reptiles are exothermic. The insulation of a jacket might keep whatever heat they've got stored in for a little while but since they can't produce heat on their own it would probably prevent the animal collecting more heat afterward.

>>2246890
most reptiles are endothermic.

>>2246893
That's entirely incorrect. Today only the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) has a near-endothermic physiology. All truly endothermic reptile species have long since been extinct. At least ones that have been discovered.

>>2246895
most reptiles are birds and birds are endothermic.

You're either actually retarded, in which case I feel sorry for you, or the world's shittiest troll.

>>2246903
nice argument ;')

if birds aren't reptiles neither are turtles and crocodiles.

>>2246907
birds are excluded. just accept that reptiles is a shitty category.

the term reptile doesn't hold any sort of scientific value because birds are traditionally excluded even though they're part of it.

again, if birds aren't reptiles neither are turtles and crocodiles.

>>2246915
Hate to tell you but bugguy is right. Most modern scientists consider birds part of Reptilia and that wouls technically make a lot of reptiles warmblooded

>>2246917
Taxonomy is a bullshit science, it only serves to make some kind of semblace of order in chaos.

>>2246931
there's 500~ more species of birds than traditional reptiles.

>>2246935
I know but if you use bullshit terms like 'reptile' atleast do it right,

>>2246949
Reptile as is used commonly is far more practical than refering to birds as reptiles.

>>2246960
>Reptile as is used commonly is far more practical

only if you're too much of an idiot to tell a lizard apart from a turtle.

otherwise terms like 'snake' or 'crocodile' would be more practical, saying reptile is like calling everything with hair and udders a mammal.

He's an actual retard. Just don't respond to him, it's better to filter him

>>2246962
I can't wait to hear how you would pick apart the taxon "fish"

>>2246967
as food and non-food.

Don't be mean to the autistic kid, he has no friends.

>>2246966
Aves is in the class Reptilia...

Fuck you plont, you stupid faggy piece of shit
