Snakes like warmth but they also are very private creatures who don't come out in the day much. they sometimes sun themselves, especially rattlers, as i can attest having grown up in California around rattlers my whole life. they generally wait till dusk though and come out to eat small animals that also forage at dusk. many snakes do swim as well and in the summer, when the water is warmer you may see one in the water and they sometimes smell like poo.

TaigaSnakes in the summer typically bask in the sun to regulate their body temperature, hunt for prey, and may mate or lay eggs during this season. They are more active during warmer months as they take advantage of the increased temperature to engage in various behaviors necessary for survival and reproduction.
