Even if snakes and other reptiles do need sun and warmth, it doesn't mean that they are all the time sun bathing. Actually during the hottest time of the day, they try to find shelter and shade, just to cool of a little. And I suppose it's a good idea to get away from the reach and sight of people who most likely wouldn't hesitate to kill one. Here's my first Aesculapian Snake for this year, and I hope to find a couple more of these beautiful reptiles.
