Where do snakes go in winter? Discover how they survive the cold months in hidden shelters and brumation

As winter chills descend, snakes vanish, not due to death or migration, but a vital survival tactic called brumation. These cold-blooded reptiles enter a dormant state, slowing metabolism and seeking insulated shelters like burrows or rock crevices. This energy conservation allows them to endure harsh conditions, re-emerging active in spring.
