Why are snakes still and birds active in winter?
Because birds are warm-blooded - they can regulate their own temperature. Snakes (like all reptiles) rely on enternal heat sources to warm their bodies enough to allow them to go in search of food etc. In the winter - it's generally too cold for snakes in their natural environment to be active. Although they don't actually hibernate, many snakes in the wild will seek out sheltered caves or other enclosed spaces that are somewhat protected from extreme cold. This gives them a relatively warm place to stay until spring.

When do snakes hibernate in South Australia?
There is some contention among scientists as to whether snakes in Australia go into "hibernation" or not. Because there are few places in Australia that get really cold, most snakes go into a semi-dormant state. This means that they will still come out during winter if the weather warms up enough.Australia's winter months are June, July and August. Therefore, these are the months when snakes are less active through South Australia. Having said that, however, it is not uncommon for snakes to emerge from their inactive state in August, so is wise to be wary of snakes at all times anyway.
