After understanding the appearance and characteristics of the white-lipped snake, let's introduce its living habits.

Characteristics

The white-lipped snake is a relatively primitive cold-blooded animal. It has no sweat glands. It cannot regulate its own body temperature, and its body temperature changes with the temperature of the habitat. When the ambient temperature outside decreases, the metabolism of the white-lipped snake will decrease, and the activity will be significantly reduced. So that they do not eat or drink, they are in a state of lethargy, and they spend the long winter in the form of hibernation. This snake generally inhabits small streams and feeds on frogs and some small animals.
