Snakes don't hibernate. If they can't find places to go to keep their body temps high enough to digest, then they don't eat (in the wild.) If they can still move around (aren't frozen) then they might move around to if they need to or want to for some reason.

In captivity and with mtn kings, we often see the snakes refusing to feed in the late Summer and Fall. In the wild, it has been witnessed that they do indeed feed and feed well if they can find a place where temps allow, like certain basking sites, etc.
