Na mate you will be right I rkeon.
I keep my phone outside at night, and a few weeks ago someone rang at like 1am, so I went outside to grab it, and there was a juvie carpet (still red) hanging off a pole!! It was 14 degrees out there, and it was windy so chill factor must have been pretty cold.

We found a king brown snake at 11 degree's at night a while ago too, how weird is that.
Just dont feed ya snake while it is cold...food might rot in his stomach!!
