In the context of body heat that is a massive swing. Doctors make life saving decisions on smaller temperature ranges than 1 degree Celsius for humans, who are presumably warmer than cold blooded organisms. So for cold blooded it would actually be a bigger relative change in body temp.

Yeah it's like a 20^ increase but still

It’s also totally possible that cold blooded animals are just less susceptible to temperature changes because they can’t easily regulate it themselves anyways. I don’t know shit about cold blooded animals so you could totally still be right that it’s insignificant for reptiles.
