Snakes are cold blooded so being in the desert is like you living in paradise technically. The side winder is found in the Namibia desert and gets its name from the way it moves quickly over the sand in s shaped movements. It does not let its body touch the sand along its whole length but only touches the sand at intervals. The tracks look almost like a car track but more widely spaced .

One of the reasons snakes can live in the desert is because they are cold blooded. This means they need direct sunlight and heat to warm their bodies enough to even be able to move. Their need for water is not high, and so they obtain a lot of their moisture needs through the food they ingest.
