The text states that snakes can hibernate for up to 3 years.
Infact verdict: Mostly False (26/100).
The evidence indicates that the term 'hibernation' is not accurately applied to snakes. Instead, they undergo 'brumation,' which lasts typically from late fall to early spring, not years. No evidence supports the claim that snakes can brumate for up to 3 years. Therefore, the claim is false.
