Although there are several species of non-venemous snakes that hibernate during Maine's long, cold winter months, the garter snake actually benefits from this act. According the the Web site of Gartersnake.info, "Hibernation in reptiles is called brumation." Basically, the reptile is not living off fat reserves like mammals do. Instead the reptile's metabolism slows down so much that it uses very little energy during the winter. It is somewhat awake and active, but due to the cold and its slowed metabolism, it does not lose any substantial amount of weight during the winter.
