Do snakes travel in pairs?
Two snakes may often be found together, or a snake will be found where one had recently been killed. Such associations are sometimes based on male attraction to female snakes. During the breeding season, female snakes produce pheromones that attract, and can be trailed by, male snakes. If a female snake is located or killed during the breeding season, a male may trail to the female or to where she was most recently. However, snakes tend not to be social, and congregate only when food is localized, to mate, or to den-up during cold weather.
