**cal kings, corns, honduran milks to such low temps for months at a time when there is no possible way they could ever seen that in the wild?**
Well, I live in Arizona at 5,000 ft in elevation. We do get a winter here with average night time temps in the teens and on occasion a few nights below zero. I have native cal kings all over the place ... and they do disappear during the winter time (about 4 months). In warmer climates (southern Arizona) they will be active longer and some may not brumate at all.
All snakes are aware of the "cycle" of cooler temps, shorter days, and in some areas a climate change (monsoon).
Snakes go under ground to thermo regulate and avoid extreme temps.
What do you think the temps are underground?
