Frequently Asked Questions about...

Snakes

What should snakes be doing in winter?

Quick answer
Not much! Snakes hibernate over the winter though may emerge during milder weather.

Further information
During the winter snakes tuck themselves away to see out the cold weather. You may find them in compost heaps, within rockeries or under logs and other debris.

If the winter is quite mild you may still see snakes emerge occasionally, this is nothing to worry about.
