My experience is that Bullsnakes never truly hibernate per se, while Pines go into a fairly deep "sleep". My hibernaculum usually stays between 48-52 degrees F; the Bullsnakes move around slowly and the Pines are out like lights! When hibernation ends the Pines are always the crankiest for a day or two until they're fully warmed up. My Theodore Black is an absolute monster at that point; the rest of the year he is like a legless lap dog!
