The movement of snakes in arboreal habitats has only recently been studied. [118] While on tree branches, snakes use several modes of locomotion depending on species and bark texture. [118] In general, snakes will use a modified form of concertina locomotion on smooth branches, but will laterally undulate if contact points are available. [118]

Those who have lived in North Carolina for a while know that during warmer months we need to be more watchful for snakes. The topic of snakes — and copperhead snakes in particular — is one we ...
Since the habitat is so frigid, its oviparous characteristic is very remarkable; the snake's small size and secretive habits most likely play a role in its survival under such conditions. Although these harsh conditions do not have much of an impact on the snake's eggs, it does affect its fecundity by limiting reproduction to every 2 to 3 years.
