'''Hypothermia''' in reptiles can lead to cellular necrosis (of [[Lizard Avascular Necrosis of Digits or Tail|digits and tail]] for example) and should be taken seriously. Metabolic processes are slowed (ie. CNS) and consequences can be degenerative changes within the peripheral nerves and ischaemia as a result of vasoconstriction.
