Description:	The use of a refuge during the hibernal period of a snake species in central Mexico is described The genus Thamnophis FiTZiNGER, 1843 (garter snakes) includes the most low- temperature-tolerant snake species in North America. The northern species of this group are among the most studied and well known snakes; e.g., T. sirtalis (LiNNAEuS, 1758), selects specific traits of hibernation refuges and congregates in thousands as a strategy for hibernation (ROSSMAN et al. 1996). However, the hibernation process is scarcely known in southern populations. ideaWild Comisión Estatal de Parques Naturales y de la Fauna (CEPANAF)
