The scales enable it by wriggling its body to gain a grip on most surfaces . Since the snake is a cold blooded creature, it has to maintain its own body heat. In a cold environment it needs to create more movement in order to keep its blood warmer. Having a coating of scales mean that the friction between the snake and whatever surface it is on can help it to keep itself warmer by movement.
