Why don't snakes live on Antarctica?

Answer 1

Snakes, and in fact all reptiles, are cold blooded. This means they can't independently increase or decrease their body temperature and need an external source (the sun, for example) to do so. This means Antarctica, with its polar climate, is way too cold for them to survive in. If they did live in Antarctica their blood would freeze up almost instantly. Also, there isn't a stable food source for snakes to survive on in Antarctica. This is why you won't find snakes, or indeed any type of reptile, in Antarctica.

Answer 2

All Snakes are live moderate temperature but the temperature of Antarctica is too cold and there is no place to hide from too cold climate another reason is most of the snakes eat small animals ,insects etc but there is no such prey are available at Antarctica region .Snakes lives most of their time either on trees or burrows no such facilities are available at Antarctica.Because of these reasons Snakes are not Live in Antarctica.

Answer 3

Yes, snakes are cold blooded so if you released it in antarctica it would be too cold and it wouldn't have the energy to move.
