Snakes have a well-deserved reputation for their escape artist abilities. The ability to easily maneuver in and out of tight spaces makes snakes very good at entering or exiting a space. Snakes are cold-blooded and unable to self-regulate body temperatures and seek out warmth in cool climates. During cool weather, snakes are less active. Campers can make inviting destinations for snakes to take shelter and find food. Many practical ways exist to keep snakes out of campers.
