| Abstract: | - 1.1. Body temperatures of 69 adult lined snakes collected in the field were recorded along with associated air and substrate temperatures.
- 2.2. There was no difference between the mean body temperature of males and females or between gravid and non-gravid individuals.
- 3.3. Body temperatures differed significantly from either air or substrate temperatures.
- 4.4. Lined snakes appear to maintain an activity temperature range by use of selected microhabitats.
