Does the Gila monster migrate or hidernat?

The Gila monster does not migrate; instead, it hibernates during the colder months. Typically, these reptiles enter a state of brumation, which is similar to hibernation, from late fall to early spring, retreating to burrows or rock crevices to escape the cold. During this time, their metabolic rate decreases significantly, allowing them to conserve energy until warmer temperatures return.
