Answer:
Snakes survive the hot climate of the desert's biodiversity by:
- Moving around during the day time from diffrent places, either to warm up or cool down.
- Exposing their body to heat early (cold blooded) in the morning.
- Hiding themselves under bushes or rocks during the hottest part of the day.
- Burying their bodies in the sand pits/wholes to stay cool because sand is a poor conductor of heat due which only a few millimetres of the sand is hot due to sun's heat.
- Staying hydrated by flattening themselves in a could shape and sucking the water that collects on their body from being underground (dens).
- By coming out in the night (primarily nocturnal) for prey.
Some common examples of snakes found in the desert's are:
- Desert Viper
- Desert Boa
- Common Krait
