McCue withheld food from 62 snakes belonging to one of three different species (ratsnake, western diamondback rattlesnake and ball python) for about six months and observed their metabolic rates. It is typical for snakes in the wild to go without food for this long. He found that snakes reduced their standard metabolic rates, some by up to 72 percent. âSnakes already had low energy demands. We didnât know they could go lower,â McCue said. Despite the lack of food, the snakes continued to grow in length.
