It depends upon the season of the year and climate. During the really hot summer days, rattlesnakes will emerge only at night when it is cooler. During cooler months (even on mild winter days) they may emerge during the day to sun themselves and then return to a safer, warmer location at night.

∙ 8y agoDepending on the weather, rattlers may sleep during the day and come out at night, particularly on hot days. Other times they may be active during the day and sleep at night. If a snake has recently eaten it may stay in hiding until it needs to feed again.

∙ 12y agoYes. rattlesnakes, boas and pythons have so-called pit organs between the eye and the nostril that can sense even tiny amounts of infrared radiation -- heat -- in their surroundings.
