Effect of Acclimation on the Preferred Body Temperature of the Lizard, Sceloporus occidentalis.

D C Wilhoft, J D Anderson.   

Abstract

The preferred body temperature was determined for several groups of Sceloporus occidentalis previously acclimated to several constant temperature levels. Acclimation to a high temperature (35 degrees C) resulted in the selection of a lowered mean preferred body temperature, whereas acclimation to lower temperatures (12 degrees C and 25 degrees C) produced no change in the preferred body temperature.
