Its amazing to me they can start out with air temps that low. Surface temps are very close to that. In captivity, they would not be able to move. This is a very good question. Which I have no answer for.

So my low temps have been, 54F and 58F, crossing the road, 56F last week out chasing toads and this week, 47F. I assume waiting to warm up enough to do its daily business.

Last week I posted a pic of a patchnose exiting a hole early AM, also at 56F and went it saw me, was way too cold to crawl normally, so it flopped its way into a bush. I stayed back. If I did not post that here, I could. Thanks
