Be assured: yes, <a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/when-to-snakes-go-to-sleep\/\">rattlesnakes are hibernating<\/a> (or brumating if you prefer) in the winter, roughly from November through February. However, as we&#8217;ve explained in previous winters, they can still be found from time to time on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Why are you still catching rattlesnakes in the winter?&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FMHZFL9OPFU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest reason you&#8217;ll still see so much from us is because we meter our content so that we don&#8217;t blow you away with 20+ posts during the summer days, and make you think we&#8217;ve disappeared during the winter. Every call is unique and interesting, with lessons and experiences that should be shared, so we space it out. That means that many of the photos you&#8217;re seeing in the winter may have been from calls we ran in October, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are of course snakes that are still active during the winter, both by their own choice, and not. We cover some of the reasons you may see one at your house during the cooler months in a previous post, named after the most common comment we see on photos of snakes found in the cooler months. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/rattlesnake-safety\/i-thought-the-rattlesnakes-were-hibernating\/\">I thought they were hibernating!<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why would rattlesnakes be active when it&#8217;s so old outside?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest misconceptions about rattlesnake behavior is that they are driven purely by warm temperatures. While it is true that rattlesnakes, like all reptiles, are cold-blooded and depend on external forces to get warm, <strong>temperature is just one of many factors that determine whether or not they&#8217;ll become active<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a great example that happened recently. In 2020, the Phoenix area broke several records for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azfamily.com\/weather\/extreme_heat\/all-time-hot-summer-2020-breaks-records-in-phoenix\/article_3a508344-13d0-11eb-a00d-13e0739c15c3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hottest, driest summer in recent history<\/a>. When rain finally came to the valley after more than 100 days without a drop, it was on a cold December day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With temperatures barely breaking 50\u02daF, why would rattlesnakes suddenly become active? Simply: they have to, or risk death. With minimal effort, I was able to find 7 Western Diamondback Rattlesnakes on the surface hoping for rain. The first was found at just 45\u02daF, and the last at 51\u02daF. Comparing field notes for the day with a couple of knowledgeable friends, who also knew to put on boots instead of sweatpants for the day, showed similar results. Rattlesnakes, even in relatively cold temperatures, were very active. When rain fell again for a brief period on Christmas day, again, it was not difficult to find a lone Western Diamondback Rattlesnake coming out for a drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

winter \u2013 in fact it&#8217;s probably why you&#8217;re reading this right now. If you&#8217;re not someone that wants to run into them out there, don&#8217;t worry: it&#8217;s very unlikely that you will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rattlesnakes that we find in the winter aren&#8217;t in the same situation that you&#8217;d find them during other, warmer periods. They&#8217;re not out moving large distances, tracking prey, looking for mates, or any of the other behaviors that most often result in an encounter. This activity is much more specific \u2013 just coming to the surface of their den, and back down again when they&#8217;ve gotten what they need. That means that if you&#8217;re hiking on a trail and not purposefully searching situations that seem likely to house rattlesnakes over the winter, you&#8217;re not likely to see them at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More notes about rattlesnakes in the winter:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rattlesnake-solutions wp-block-embed-rattlesnake-solutions\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yz8OxGNs8f\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/winter-is-the-best-time-to-take-care-of-rattlesnake-prevention\/\">Winter is the best time to take care of rattlesnake prevention.<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Winter is the best time to take care of rattlesnake prevention.&#8221; &#8212; Rattlesnake Solutions\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/winter-is-the-best-time-to-take-care-of-rattlesnake-prevention\/embed\/#?secret=jw8VJzPmxc#?secret=yz8OxGNs8f\" data-secret=\"yz8OxGNs8f\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rattlesnake-solutions wp-block-embed-rattlesnake-solutions\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"lVHG20VeOV\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/end-of-rattlesnake-season-checklist-5-steps-to-make-your-yard-rattlesnake-free-this-winter\/\">End of Rattlesnake Season Checklist \u2013 8 Steps to Make Your Yard Rattlesnake Free this Winter<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;End of Rattlesnake Season Checklist \u2013 8 Steps to Make Your Yard Rattlesnake Free this Winter&#8221; &#8212; Rattlesnake Solutions\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/end-of-rattlesnake-season-checklist-5-steps-to-make-your-yard-rattlesnake-free-this-winter\/embed\/#?secret=mdS0NrG3Fi#?secret=lVHG20VeOV\" data-secret=\"lVHG20VeOV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rattlesnake-solutions wp-block-embed-rattlesnake-solutions\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"vxZxNYPNaX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/rattlesnake-safety\/garage-rattlesnakes-holiday-awareness\/\">Garage Rattlesnakes &#038; Holiday Awareness<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Garage Rattlesnakes &#038; Holiday Awareness&#8221; &#8212; Rattlesnake Solutions\" src=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/rattlesnake-safety\/garage-rattlesnakes-holiday-awareness\/embed\/#?secret=JjSUoDmIhN#?secret=vxZxNYPNaX\" data-secret=\"vxZxNYPNaX\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-rattlesnake-solutions wp-block-embed-rattlesnake-solutions\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"62KWlDZh22\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rattlesnakesolutions.com\/snakeblog\/keep-snakes-away\/is-your-home-a-rattlesnake-den-how-to-stay-rattlesnake-free-this-winter\/\">Is your home a rattlesnake den?
