Snakes are cold blooded, which simply means that it's body temperature changes with the temperature of it's surroundings. Snakes can raise or lower their own body temperature. For example, if a snake's body temperature begins to drop, it can raise it's temperature by lying in the sun. Most times a snake can be found "sunning itself" on rocky surfaces. This is an excellent heat source, as rocks are conductors of heat. Anotheradvantage to this is that rocks and crevices can provide shelter from predators, as well as providing shade if the snake needs to cool itself.
