Well I'm having a debate with a few friends of mine as to whether reptiles are affected by windchill. Right now we basically have two sides to the debate A) Reptiles are affected by windchill so you need to take that into consideration when you take your reptiles outside and B) Reptiles lack the ability to feel the windchill so as long as the base temperature is at an acceptable level the windchill has no effect on the reptiles. I'm preferrably looking for some hard facts that I can show to my friends to prove that Reptiles can indeed feel windchill, I've already been able to find out that gators and crocs can feel the windchill but I want to confirm that snakes and lizards are affected as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
