They cannot regulate their own temperature like mammals can. Therefore - they 'bask' in direct sunlight to raise their body temperature to a working level. If they get too hot, they find a shaded place so they can cool down.

Do Australian snakes hibernate?

As with any snakes, Australian snakes may or may not hibernate, according to the weather. Snakes are cold-blooded, and rely on the heat of the sun to raise their body temperature enough for them to become active. Snakes shelter in rock crevices and logs during cold weather and come out on warm days to sunbake. While they are less active in the cooler months throughout Queensland, the Northern Territory, northern South Australia, Western Australian (except the far southern region) and New South Wales (except for the Alpine areas and High Country), they do not hibernate in these areas. In Tasmania, southern Victoria, the Alpine regions of Victoria and the southern coast of South Australia, snakes do hibernate.
