- It gains extra heat by basking in sunlight

- When temperatures become very low it hibernates in a sheltered place during prolonged cold periods.

- They hibernate during winter also to enable them to survive the surrounding cold. Hibernating causes the metabolic rate to drop which causes the body temperature to drop in warm conditions, there heart beat slows down and there breathing rate drops

- When temperatures rise, the brown snake shelters in shade under logs and is active only in cooler parts of the day, such as the evening.

- They are usually active during the day but when it is very hot they become nocturnal and their active periods are at night.
