snakes, like all reptiles, are cold blooded, meaning they cannot keep themselves warm like mammals do. they are the same temperature as their surroundings. they like hot weather, 80-90 degrees, because that's their body temperature.
all reptiles are cold blooded unlikemamles which are warm blooded,the olny way to keep reptiles warm is to bask in the sun. (lay in the suns heat)
If rattlesnakes lived in cold places they cold die of the cold easily.
It is because they are cold blooded. This means that their temp. of blood is the same temp. as their environment. When it is cold they move slower and become tired. When it is warmer they move faster and it gives then energy.
Rattlesnakes do not only live in hot places but also in more temperate areas and are found high into some mountainous areas. They avoid those areas that have a really cold winter climate, however. As a cold blooded animal, they require warmer temperatures to be able to function and digest their food properly.
so they can keep warm and it is a good place to niye sum one
All snakes need heat. They have no way to regulate their own temperature and therefore they need external heat in order to digest their food.
because they have moisture in there skin.... to help them survive
They are cold-blooded, so they'd die if they lived in cold weather. Therefore, they mostly live in more tropical environments so they stay nice and warm.
Because they are cold blooded.
they get hot
because the snakes like to be in the heat
they use it to find heat sources, like snakes
Snakes cannot produce their own heat because they are coldblooded.

Depends on the reptile, some can stand the cold weather such as some types of snakes while others can't and need heat such as the bearded dragon
Snakes
There are 14 types of snakes in Massachusetts. Some of which are diurnal, These are tips on finding these creatures. 1. When to find snakes = When looking for snakes in MA make sure its a sunny day in the Spring, Summer, and early and mid fall. The temperature should be between 65-85 degrees. Tip ( snakes don't like it when goes lower than 65 or 85 degrees). But that doesn't go for most snakes, Some snakes like Brown Snakes, Red-belly snakes, and Ring neck snakes like the temperature cooler like 55. In addition the best time to find these snakes is in the Spring. In the summer these snakes are found under logs and rocks. But some snakes like Black racers like extreme heat 85 or 90+ 2 Where to find snakes = It depends on what snakes your looking for. I most commonly see snakes in Woodland parks. But for example smooth Green snakes like grassland habitats, and Hog nose snakes like sandy areas. Garter snakes the most common snakes in Massachusetts can be found in virtually every habitat in Massachusetts. Other snakes you have to look a little harder. 3 What snakes will I come across = Garter snakes, Milk snakes, Northern Water snakes, Brown snakes, Black Racers, Ribbon snakes, Smooth Green snakes, Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes Some of are more uncommon snakes like Hog nose snakes, Black rat snakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, and Northern copperheads, and Worm snakes can be found but are harder to find. Snakes like Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes, Brown snakes, and some times Copperheads are nocturnal in Summer. Copperheads are most commonly found during daylight hours. Also some snakes like Ring Neck snakes can be found on cool cloudy or foggy summer mornings.
my brother owns a snake and a snakes vision is based on heat, so like if a snake looks at a chair it would be blue cause it got no heat and if it looked at you it would be red. a snakes world of seeing is full of blue and red blurs and out linings that's why snakes alway's accidently bit people. snakes are interesting animals :) With they're tongue.
Snakes need a heat rock because they are cold-blooded, meaning that the temperature around them affects their temperature. If the temperature in a snakes environment gets to cold, the snake will basically freeze to death.
Snakes like to eat fish as food. Snakes do not like fish as friends or pets.
