What are snakes sleeping patterns and weaknesses?

Question

I was wondering if snakes have weaknesses or something that repels them and also if they sleep little or alot.

Answer 1

As far as I know they have no weaknesses. They sllep during the day mostly and are most active during the night.

Answer 2

Different kinds of snakes have different sleep patterns. Some are totally diurnal(daytime-active), like Coachwhips, while others are totally nocturnal(like Mangrove Snakes)and others can be active during night or day. Captive snakes seem to spend a LOT of time asleep, but then, they don't have to worry about hunting for food or BEING food for something else, so they can relax.

The only things that repels snakes are snake predators, or a lack of food or shelter in an area. Snakes do not tend to hang around where they're most likely to be eaten, or cannot find anything to eat, or a place to hide and sleep. There are no commercial products available that will repel snakes and that won't harm you or other animals, and that does include sulphur.

Answer 3

Hello..many do sleep alot & are only most active when hungry or disturbed, there is no real repellent or danger...they just don't like being bothered or loud noises, so many people do use dogs or cats ...some of which can be deadly to some snakes, depending on the kind of snake & size, etc ...Take Care :)

Answer 4

don't know much about snakes, except i don't like them. i know they sleep all winter, the wake up when the weather is warm in the spring. i have seen some snakes at night so they don't all sleep at night.
