Fact 3: Snakes Are Solitary Creatures
Snakes are solitary, that’s for sure. The only time you’re likely to see them together is during mating and courtship.
There is no social interaction between snakes. As opposed to monkeys, prairie dogs and wolves, these mammals do not live together in packs nor to they chatter with each other.
As a general rule, snakes both in tropical and temperate regions tend to live solitary lives. There are, for the most part, only two social activities during the breeding season: denning and mating.
Snakes like the garter snake are known to be quite social, of course. Outside of the mating season, two snakes near each other might try to kill and eat one another, which probably wouldn’t bode well for their friendship.
