Do snakes hibernate? For example where do northeastern snakes go in the winter?

Answer 1

All of the northeastern snakes hibernate. Many will seek out a shelter known as a Hibernaculum. This is some region, somethig like a rock cravace for instance that allows them to get down below the frost line. These hibernacula can uaully house thousands of snakes and several different species.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

This is a generic answer because it depends on the species and the geographical location. Those that do hibernate go "underground", either in caves, crevices, or abandoned burrows. They make their way below the frost line in order to hibernate ( a state of deep-slowed metabolism) but not freeze.

Answer 3

Yes the ones in the Northeast do. In Sullivan county in New York stae there are rock dens that have thousands of rattlesnakes all curled together into a ball and hibernating.

Answer 4

Yes, snakes do hibernate, either by burying themselves in mud, or massing together in huge colonies in caves. This latter case is particularly true of pit vipers, such as diamondback rattlers.
