Of course! Snakes have a much greater sense of smell than humans, in fact. Snakes do not have protruding noses(or ears, for that matter). They have two nostrils just above the mouth. Snakes also "taste" the air with their tongue. This could, possibly, be classified as another form of "smelling" by some people.


Do snakes have pits?

Yes, some snakes have specialized heat-sensing organs called pits located between their eyes and nostrils. These pits help them detect infrared radiation, which allows them to hunt and navigate in the dark.
