Snakes have adapted to harsh, inhospitable environments across the globe. You’ll find them in grasslands, rocky mountain habitats, deserts, rainforests, and the ocean. Snakes adapt to the desert by using light brown or grey camouflage to blend in with their surroundings. They’ve adapted to the temperature by learning to burrow in dens to shelter from hot temperatures. They also brumate (hibernate) during the harsh and cold winter months. These snake adaptations to their environment enable them to live in the desert, but life is never easy. Populations are smaller than in less extreme environments, like forests. It’s a testament to their hardy nature that snakes can live in the hottest, harshest habitats on earth.
