I don't have any yet, but I'd love to see pictures from your games. Here's a place to post them.

From what I understand, Argonians are indeed cold-blooded. This means that they should die in cold weather, or at the very least suffer some serious health problems. Being cold-blooded just means that their bodies are affected by external temperatures way more than warm-blooded races, who can generate their own heat and regulate temperature. That's why lizards and snakes sunbathe on a morning and mostly live in warm places - sort of like charging up their internal battery

Most real-world cold-blooded animals allow themselves to freeze during winter and thaw out during spring, with the help of some handy chemicals in their bloodstream which acts a bit like anti-freeze. Of course it's always cold in Skyrim so Haa Rei couldn't just hibernate all the time (as much as he'd like to). I'm not sure about fish and other cold water creatures, but I guess they have a similar sytem.

An in-game book I found in ESO claims that Argonians don't seem to have as much trouble in the snow as you'd think, and the Altmer author thinks it's something to do with Hist sap which Argonians ingest as hatchlings. So Argonians can still feel the cold, and it most likely makes them a little sluggish, but they can still function in colder areas at least as well as an Imperial or a Bosmer.

ESO has been such a treasure trove of info about Argonians - I've just been super excited the whole time

This is fascinating! I have never played an Argonian, always wondered how they would be played! I love this, this is so great! One of the major issues I had in creating Maxical's character was how to balance the leopard with the elf side of her genes and ancestry; it was a ton of fun researching the lore and the real life cats to come up with my own version of what Khajiit might be like. You have played Haa Rei since at least 2009 that I know of, so you know him and his physicals better than anyone - really awesome how you have worked out everything for his metabolism, I love it!!!

One of the advantages of being cold-blooded is that it does not require as much energy to maintain the body. So reptiles can survive on much less food than warm-blooded animals.

I wonder if they like lobster? (or mud crab?)
