Snakes smell with their tongues.
Have you ever wondered why snakes stick their tongues out?
They are probably trying to smell their surroundings as they use their tongue to do this.
At the roof of their mouth they have something called a Jacobson’s or vomeronasal organ.
The smell then goes from the tongue, to the organ in their mouth.
