Male garter snakes live shorter lives than females because they wear themselves out having an annual three-week frenzied orgy, a study has found.

Scientists at the University of Sydney found that male red-sided garter snakes die younger than females - and it is all because of their insatiable sex drive.

Scores of the male serpents, which are found in central and north America, meet for three weeks a year to furiously procreate.

The snakes do not eat during the exhausting session, which sees them compete with hundreds of other men over several females.

Female garter snakes only visit the site of the orgy for one day during the three weeks of debauchery, making the experience considerably less tiring for them.

The researchers measured the length of telomeres - a genetic marker of ageing - in male and female snakes in Manitoba, Canada.

They discovered that male reptiles were ageing faster than females and that their bodies were in worse conditions.

Female snakes were found to be up to 30 per cent larger than males of the same age, suggesting that the males die younger, the study said.

The academics believe this is because the males spend more of their energy on mating than protecting their DNA and cell damage, whereas females focus on keeping their body in good condition so they can reproduce.

'Although we believe that all females mate every year, they only stay at the den sites (where mating takes place) for a short period of one to three days - much less than males, who remain for at least a week and up to 21 days, which seems to result in males ageing faster and dying earlier than females,' Dr Christopher Friesen, from the University of Sydney, said.

'Females reproduce every other year, which depends on their stored fat/energy reserves. Our previous research has shown that females can store sperm for up to 15 months or more before she uses the sperm to fertilise her eggs.'

The study, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, added: 'The relationship between body condition and age differed strikingly between sexes, with females maintaining their body condition with age, while condition decreased with age in males.'

The snakes spend around eight months of the year underground and come out for the remainder of the year to breed, feed and have babies.

The female garter snakes were found to spend little time looking after their babies after birth, which is common among snakes.
