>>I wonder if neonates that are born are just desigened to go until spring because they have enough to keep them through winter.

>>I think this is the case. Finding a first lizard meal may not be that easy in the high elevations, when all the reptiles go to ground with dropping temperatures. So these snakes have evolved to survive until spring, when things warm up again and the prey is also awake.



Pyros can go underground with the lizards and eat.......huh?



What are these "safe" underground temps?



Who says the are "asleep?"



Hmmmmm
