Explanation:

hi

In squamates (scaled reptiles such as lizards and snakes), the lungs are ventilated almost exclusively by the muscles of the chest wall. These same muscles are used during movement, so most squamates have to hold their breath while exerting themselves (running fast).

Reptile Respiration
Instead, reptiles breathe air only through their lungs. However, their lungs are more efficient than the lungs of amphibians, with more surface area for gas exchange. ... These are the same muscles used for running, so lizards have to hold their breath when they run.
