There is some contention among scientists as to whether snakes in Australia go into "hibernation" or not. Because there are few places in Australia that get really cold, most snakes go into a semi-dormant state. This means that they will still come out during winter if the weather warms up enough.
Australia's winter months are June, July and August. Therefore, these are the months when snakes are less active through South Australia. Having said that, however, it is not uncommon for snakes to emerge from their inactive state in August, so is wise to be wary of snakes at all times anyway.

Do Australian snakes hibernate?
As with any snakes, Australian snakes may or may not hibernate, according to the weather. Snakes are cold-blooded, and rely on the heat of the sun to raise their body temperature enough for them to become active. Snakes shelter in rock crevices and logs during cold weather and come out on warm days to sunbake. While they are less active in the cooler months throughout Queensland, the Northern Territory, northern South Australia, Western Australian (except the far southern region) and New South Wales (except for the Alpine areas and High Country), they do not hibernate in these areas. In Tasmania, southern Victoria, the Alpine regions of Victoria and the southern coast of South Australia, snakes do hibernate.
