Many reptiles actively regulate their body temperature. During thermoregulation, they suffer evaporative water loss (EWL). Since evaporation increases with temperature, EWL could limit the activity of ectotherms when water is not available. In this study, we compared the preferred body temperatures (T
) and EWL of two lacertid lizard species,
