Most common snakes do not estivate (hibernate in the summer) but some do so for varying lengths of time. Some also experience true hibernation in colder weather. Whenever there are extremes of weather (heat, cold, aridity), reptiles will often "den" or hide away (sometimes in groups), which is not true hibernation.
