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.

∙ 13y agoIt 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.

∙ 8y agoRattlesnakes 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.
