Hunters Beware! Snakes have been seen moving in Simpson county the week of Christmas.
Most people believe snakes hibernate during winter months! Snakes do not actually hibernate, rather they become less active during cold weather. It is called “brumation.” Brumation is an extreme slowing down of their metabolism. Snakes will return to dens to survive during the colder months. Nice sunny days that follow a long cold snap are often when people are surprised by these creepy crawlers. With the warmer and wet weather that has been experienced during December the snakes will come out to enjoy the sunshine just as we humans will do.
So while headed to the deer stand, duck hunting, or any other type sporting venture beware of the actions underneath your feet.
