    I've read loads on snakes since getting my Northern Pine but have not read a single mention about sleep - do snakes actually sleep, or just rest a lot? Does anyone know?

    Thanx

    I can't remember where I read it but I saw an article that said yes snakes sleep you just can never be sure of when they are because they don't have eyelids. I think my snakes do though because if I touch them suddenly they jump and sometimes bite like they were woken up.
