In short they find ways to keep warm so they can eat. Read on if you want a more detailed answer. Snakes are coldblooded so keeping their body temperature warm is a major priority. They need to keep warm by any means necessary so they do not get cold and slow down. Fulfilling this can consist of sunbathing, burrowing underground and under things like rocks or wood, and even finding a home in a shed or a house! Without warmth they would eventually freeze to death (They thrive in warm temperatures). When they do get warm and are hungry they will be hunting. There are many different kinds of snakes and their diets vary greatly. Just about anything up to a human size can be prey to one type of snake or another. But generally rodents and insects are the most common prey.

Do chinchillas attract snakes?

Chinchillas do not inherently attract snakes, but their presence can attract predators, including snakes, if they are in an area where snakes are common. The scent of chinchillas and their burrowing habits may draw in snakes looking for food. However, snakes are more likely to be attracted to environments with abundant small rodents or other prey rather than chinchillas specifically. Keeping chinchillas in a secure habitat can help minimize the risk of attracting snakes.
