With a single lung, like all snakes (they have all the same organs we do, plus a Jacobson's organ like that found in cats).
A rattlesnake - like every other air-breathing animal on the planet - breathes through its lungs.

A ball python was a windpipe that goes from its throat into the mouth. It extends far enough into the mouth that when swallowing prey, it can breathe. It's actually kind of large, open it's mouth, and it's windpipe is at the bottom. You can't miss it, looks like a tube that's part of the mouth. Hope this is useful.

snake do not use their skin as a site for the exchange of gases. they confine this exchange to the internal lun or lungs. they possess muscle and skeletal arrangement that enable them to force air out of the lungs and draw air back over the lung surface to ventilate the respiratory tract.
