FR, you've mentioned the congregating of snakes in Winter, specifically the congregations of sexually-mature adults.

Example, you mentioned an abandoned structure in ratsnake habitat where there were many shed skins, I believe from the snakes congregating there in Winter? (I could have this wrong - shoulda reread that post.)

Do you know why they would do this? Is the selection of the site only based on temperature (i.e. "mass" material temps or sun exposure as you've mentioned) or is there something more?

Do the snakes actually seek one another for some reason?
