Snakes display both r and K traits. They are much longer lived, produce a moderate number of eggs (some species far fewer than others).

Why don't snakes live in the arctic?

Snakes and other reptiles are cold blooded animals - they do not generate heat internally from their food the way warm blooded animals such as penguins or seals do. They (snakes and other reptiles) warm themselves up by absorbing heat from a warm environment and / or by basking in direct sunlight. This is a good answer but understand, by cold blooded, it does not mean the animal's blood is cold, this reference is to the condition described above, Cold weather makes these animals very sluggish, to the point of defenseless, the reason why so many go into a hibernation like state in areas that have cold weather.
