Dogs sleep more than us, but they wake more frequently than we do. How much and when they sleep depends on the level of activity in their environment. A dog living as a pet in the home is likely to sleep more than a dog that works for a living, like a search and rescue dog or a dog working on a farm.
In the colder winter months, some rattlesnake species enter a period of brumation, which is dormancy similar to hibernation. They often gather together for brumation in large numbers (sometimes over 1,000 snakes), huddling together inside underground rattlesnake dens or hibernacula.
A. Snakes are living in your home or yard because there is attractive habitat and nearby food. Most often they come into homes to den up for the winter and when they do this it can be in alarmingly large numbers.A single rattlesnake den, for example, can contain over 70 snakes.People frequently are not aware the snakes are in the home at all during the winter.nakes are usually in an area or structure because there is food there. If you have a snake problem you probably also have an insect or rodent problem to go along with it. Snakes carry a variety of diseases, including salmonella, and can make you sick even without biting you.
