  1. they slither around because their stomach muscles are really strong.
  2. they have smooth scales so they can go fast
  3. they wind themselves around the branches to climb trees

There body is like one giant bone. When wriggling it it makes a forward pushing movement to help the snake move.

Snakes, however, have poor hearing and eyesight. They are equipped with a keen sense of smell and taste.They use their tongues to locate their prey and to gather information about the environment
