With many snakes hatching out anywhere from mid-late aug through early-mid sep, they still have plenty of time to get a few meals in them and help them overwinter. But you bring up a valid point, I wonder how many hatchlings do not get a meal before they go down for the winter?? And of those that do not, what percentage does not survive the winter?? Would be interesting to see some data on that!!



This thread sure has made me think about some things I have not in the past!! Always room to learn, thats for sure!
