Hi Everyone

I was wondering what our native reptiles think of this weather - hammering down with rain one minute and hot/humid the next. I know that they like to bask in the sun to warm their blood, but........

Do reptiles like the rain? Do they 'go out' in it to deliberately get wet or do they hide away?

Do they like the hot humid weather and are they more active or less active.

Are reptiles active at night (the frogs in my garden certainly are)?

 

Cheers

 

Steve

A lot of my Froglets seem to have been hanging around the area near the pond for the past few weeks, but with the heavy rain they can now be seen making a break for it into next door gardens and beyond...including one determined little guy who had climed the front step and was a few hops away from being in the house!
