Snakes use mass temps. That is, they use the temps on and underground. They can survive the hottest days and the coldest nights underground. The temps underground are quite stable.



In the wild, the best winter spots can be occupied by numerous individuals and more than one species.



How will you allow snakes to spend the Winter underground? Perhaps a big plywood box sunk in the ground, covered with dirt and some kind of vent. But I would test it this Winter before committing.
