    Sleeping?

    How do you tell if a snake is sleeping?

    Thank you!

    The head is usually resting on the ground. When they're awake they have it up.
    I have caught many of mine asleep. My big radixes are very content with life here at the Ranch. They will be sound asleep when I reach in and scratch their sides.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
