Chapter 268: Group (2)
People are always surprised when they hear about a snake’s lifestyle.
And for good reason—snakes spend most of their day asleep.
No, actually, it's not an exaggeration to say they spend most of their lives asleep.
On average, snakes sleep about 16 hours a day, and some can sleep for over 22 hours.
And that’s not all—during the winter, they can hibernate for up to eight months, and in the summer, they enter summer dormancy.
They really spend the vast majority of their time sleeping.
That’s because snakes are cold-blooded animals.
Unlike warm-blooded creatures like mammals and birds, which burn internal energy to maintain body temperature, snakes don’t.
The optimal temperature for a snake to be active is around 25°C, so if there’s a difference from that, it can cause problems for their body—which is why they spend most of their time sleeping.
Cheongyu may have the upper body of a human, but she’s still the queen of snakes.
So of course, Cheongyu prefers dark places and sleeps a lot.
Unlike Yeondu, who barely sleeps at all.
