Will grass snakes hibernate in compost heaps?

I've also enjoyed this post. Thanks experts. I'm involved as a volunteer establishing a hybernaculum in the local community. I often come across slow worms, toads and frogs as I'm a landscaper so it's useful to know that I'm doing the right thing. My local wildlife group has a very clued up specialist who gives some great advice.

I have a 3 part New Zealand system, approx 3 ton max capacity, compost heap and slow worms seem to thinks it's a great place to be. Food in the summer? Shelter in the winter? (Each compartment is 1 cubic metere)

Whatever the attraction I have had to change how I turn it. Although I'm super vigilant I dread the day there is a casualty. :(...........hc
