Habitat is the type of environment in which animals live, there are lots of different habitats each one has its own individual characteristics that make it unique. They all have there own plants and animals that make each and everyone special. Also other important factors include temperature, humidity, length and quality of sunlight.

Pine forests have very few arboreal reptile inhabitants. Pine trees are not reptile friendly they leak sap from every open wound. The sap as well as being very sticky is an irritant and causes the sensitive reptile skin to have a painful burning sensation. Reptiles quickly learn to stay out of pine trees, but some terrestrial reptiles live on the forest floor to feed on the rich rodent life which in turn feed on the pine seeds that fall to the ground.

Deserts are hot, dry and more full of life than would first appear. During the day only the toughest of the desert life can be seen enduring the hot daytime sun. The sun at midday makes the desert sand very hot and much of the time is spent hiding in the shade behind rocks or under the few plants that can survive in the hostile conditions. If they need to move from one shady spot to another then this is done as fast as possible often involving very inventive ways in which not to touch the hot sand. At night other animals that have been avoiding the sun by burying themselves underground, unearth themselves to go about their nightly business. At night the temperature can fall sufficiently enough that condensation to form on rocks and plants.
