-Lizards are ectothermic and therefore the temperature of their environment affects their body processes which are highly temperature-dependent. Temperature will affect enzymatic activity, the decomposition rate of ingested elements, the absorption through the gut mucosa, peristalsis (and gut transit times) and possibly gut flora.
