Protest! Is my Broad Headed snake answer wrong?
Isn't that the rare one that looks like a Diamond python but smaller?
I think I read that it can be found in trees...
Some one set me straight if I am wrong.
 
ahuh thats correct I believe Nicole...according to a few of the books I have been reading the genus: Hoplocephalus sometimes climb tree's
 
Sorry Nicole i don't know how efficiently the Broad Headed snake climb tree. I just have one in the book which climb tree efficiently. I am sure that nearly all snakes can climb trees time to time. Forgive me my beauty.

Next question.
what is exact meaning of world ectothermic?
 
reptiles are ectothermic....they cannot regulate their body temps themselves....so they rely on outside sources such as hot rocks etc....this is what ectothermic means
 
It means cold blooded,relating to an organism that regulates its body temperature largely by exchanging heat with its surroundings.
 
And the question was
what is exact meaning of world ectothermic?
I'd say I have the EXACT meaning as worded by dictionaries worldwide...
 
I thought ectothermic meant something that absorbs heat not necessarily an organism. If I remember chemistry (so long ago now) exothermic refers to a substance that gives out heat and ectothermic absorbs heat...or was that endothermic...my memory is not what it used to be. Hand me my google Jeeves!
 
well done ewerybody. Nothing wrong with the other answers, but best exact translation is: ecto=from outside thermic=temperature
fuscus is geting 1 point and reptile rascal 1/2
It is hard to pick one best answer if they are all right.
But it is just fun trivia so don't get upset with me please.
