'Cold-blooded' does not mean the creature is at the same temperature as its
environment. It means it has no organic* way to regulate the temperature. Of
course, that means it can't stray very far from the environment's
temperature, but a little bit is doable.

(*) 'Fever' in mammals means the animal's body produces large amounts of 
heat. In lizards it means the animal moves into the sun so as to increase 
the temperature. Imagine that, behavioural fever.
