Birds, reptiles and choosing a pet, sentence 2
Reptiles such as lizards, snakes and tortoises cannot make their own body heat, so they rely on the lamp and heat mat an adult sets up; they also often carry salmonella germs even when they look healthy.
Who acts: Reptiles, adult · What happens: not make, rely, set up, carry, look, heat · To what, where: own body heat, heat mat, salmonella germs
