“…
Fig. 2 Technical illustration of an artificial snake hibernaculum installed in soil showing the approximate relative locations of the frost level, groundwater table and life zone [ 14 ] relative to the ground surface. The fully assembled hibernaculum is ∼160 cm long, with ∼125 cm of the inner housing below the ground surface (exact lengths will depend on the brand of HDPE end cap used, and how accurately pipe sections are measured and cut).

“…We assumed that ectotherms are buried in soil or in burrows (thus not under rocks or in rock crevices, which have different thermal properties) and that T b equals adjacent T soil (Supporting Information). We assumed that moisture (or ice), desiccation or gas (oxygen, CO 2 ) tensions did not influence results (but see, Costanzo, 1989; Burke et al ., 2002; Berman et al ., 2016; Rossi et al ., 2020; Yagi et al ., 2020). For most simulations we assumed that ectotherms did not change depths within a sample period (but see Macartney et al ., 2011).…”
