At what time of the day do snakes come out?

Answer 1

depends on the snake. most operate at night and are only out in the day to gain a little heat. but i would imagine about 10a-dark you might see them sunning and running and then at night if they are out they will get back home before the temp drops below 70.

Answer 2

As there are many varities of snakes there really is no specific time when snakes come out. However because snakes are exothermic and rely on the sun to keep them warm, they will often spend the hottest times of the day under brush or some kind of cover so as to not get too hot. This means that usually usually they are more active early in the morning, or towards sunset when the sun isnt so strong and their prey, often rodents which are nocturnal come out to eat. Again this is a broad generalization and doesnt apply to all snakes

Answer 3

Depends what type of snake you are talking about. Some comes out during the day time and others come out at night. No set times.

Answer 4

Mostly they comes out at night..
hungry snake they can either find their prey during the day while it is asleep,they like to go hunting at night.

Snakes are also cold-blooded, which means that their metabolism depends on the ambient temperature of their environment. This means that if it's cold out, So, in temperate areas, you might only expect snakes to be nocturnal in the summer, when it's warm enough for them at night. This could also explain why nocturnal snakes are more common in tropical areas.

Answer 5

Depends on the snake. Some snakes are primarily nocturnal others prefer the daylight. Some are equally active during both.

Answer 6

Some snakes are active during the morning hours...

While some snakes are active at night.

Answer 7

Down south in Louisiana...ANYTIME! You can see them mostly during 10a.m.to 4p.m. time I guess. They like this hot sun but I've seen them at night and late in the afternoon too. Early morning...I'm telling you, these snakes around here don't have a clock so they just come out when they feel like slithering around!

Answer 8

When it is warm enough to hunt their selected prey. Most snakes will be active by the time the sun warms things up a bit- burns of the dew, whatever.

In really hot weather, they will hunt earlier or later in the day.

In warmer climates, many species are crepuscular (dawn/dusk) or fully nocturnal.

It isn't like they use alarm clocks! :-)

Answer 9

It depends on the breed, the area they live in, and so on. Reptiles are cold-blooded, so they like warmth. They will come out and bask in the sun if they feel they are safe enough, if not, they will come out after dark and lay on rocks that hold the heat of the day in, or try to find some other source of heat to avoid entering a hibernation-type mode.

Answer 10

Snakes tend to come out in the morning or in the evening here in the desert .Snakes are cold blooded animals meaning their bodies cannot regulate body temperature like you or me (warm blooded).They can'nt be out when its too hot or too cold.
