Almost all vertebrates use the iron compound hemoglobin as the oxygen-transporting compound in their blood. Oxygenated hemoglobin is bright red, unoxygenated darker red. Many invertebrates use a copper compound rather than an iron compound to transport oxygen, so their blood is blue-green. I believe there is some arctic fish which also has blue-green blood, for the same reason.

Its still red once it hits oxygen like any other animal, cold blooded is just a term given to reptiles to describe the way that they can't supply enough of their own body heat which is why they are always in the sun.

Do Lizards Have Green Blood

Yup, red. They still breathe oxygen, so the hemoglobin is still present, the iron causing the red colour. Because of that, I would think all creatures would have red blood.

Color doesn't depend on hot and color but rather oxygenated and deoxygenated, so given that- what do u think
