I would just be surprised a reptile surviving 5 ft in the air in single digits.
I agree with you. I know the snakes build a fire to stay warm when it gets cold.

I saw a 5 ft timber rattler out 5 days after it was 7 degrees in Southern Mississippi. It was sitting fully exposed on the ground. February.

I’d heard that they’d sit on palmettos and thought it was an old urban legend. I guess the can! Damnit! As if I didn’t have enough to worry about lol

I’ve got an African tortoise in my garage right now, in Brumation.
Heat lamp only keeps that area around him in the 20s.
He doesn’t move, eat or pee.
But if you rub him, he flinches.
Reptiles are sneaky.
It’s in the Bible.

If you have hogs in your area that could be one reason. I don’t know the actual study but I’ve talked to biologist's that say with the increase in hog population they are seeing more snakes in trees and lots of rattlesnakes that no longer rattle to stay hidden from wild hogs

quote:Seen this while backpacking. We had stopped and making supper so we watched it do a long slow climb up what looked like an ash until it went out of sight. Wasn’t a rattler probably some type of rat or racer. And while paddling we see cottonmouths hanging out in branches all the time. Tree’s and some snakes definitely go together.
A friend of mine sent me a video about 10 years ago of one going up a beech tree. He was bowhunting and the snake was eye level with him. He lost site of him at some point he said. Snake was going up the whole time

I walk my dogs twice a day along a field edge with low overhanging limbs. One time when I got home and took off my hat, I found a little 10" green snake had decided to catch a ride. Taught me to look up in addition to looking down.
