I don't know where to put this in but I read in a book on north american reptiles & amphibians that garter snakes can live with thier blood around 40% frozen. Also, in a test, half of the garters lived when they lowered the temp to around -50 degrees farenheit. I am not sure about the exact nubers but it was amazing either way.
