Yes, sun does hurt rats. I have a rat and most of its fur is gone probably because of the sun beating on its cage. I would keep the rats cage away from sunlight because it will most likely scratch off its fur.

How do you find diurnal snakes in Massachusetts?

There are 14 types of snakes in Massachusetts. Some of which are diurnal, These are tips on finding these creatures. 1. When to find snakes = When looking for snakes in MA make sure its a sunny day in the Spring, Summer, and early and mid fall. The temperature should be between 65-85 degrees. Tip ( snakes don't like it when goes lower than 65 or 85 degrees). But that doesn't go for most snakes, Some snakes like Brown Snakes, Red-belly snakes, and Ring neck snakes like the temperature cooler like 55. In addition the best time to find these snakes is in the Spring. In the summer these snakes are found under logs and rocks. But some snakes like Black racers like extreme heat 85 or 90+ 2 Where to find snakes = It depends on what snakes your looking for. I most commonly see snakes in Woodland parks. But for example smooth Green snakes like grassland habitats, and Hog nose snakes like sandy areas. Garter snakes the most common snakes in Massachusetts can be found in virtually every habitat in Massachusetts. Other snakes you have to look a little harder. 3 What snakes will I come across = Garter snakes, Milk snakes, Northern Water snakes, Brown snakes, Black Racers, Ribbon snakes, Smooth Green snakes, Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes Some of are more uncommon snakes like Hog nose snakes, Black rat snakes, Timber Rattlesnakes, and Northern copperheads, and Worm snakes can be found but are harder to find. Snakes like Red Belly snakes, Ring Neck snakes, Brown snakes, and some times Copperheads are nocturnal in Summer. Copperheads are most commonly found during daylight hours. Also some snakes like Ring Neck snakes can be found on cool cloudy or foggy summer mornings.
