I'm wondering- would the lamia family be considered warm-blooded or cold-blooded? Do they have to hibernate (or brumate) once the weather gets cold or do they have some other way of adapting to the change in temperature. Apparently in real life there's some species out there- such as the Great White or Leatherback turtle- called mesotherms which are neither warm or cold blooded.

If a lamia has to remain dormant for weeks or even months at a time, I could almost understand why they would be so jealous and worried that their man might run off with somebody else. Maybe they're so clingy and possessive because they know they'll be out of commission at some point and want to make the most of their time with their man.
