How might a squirrel use its sense of hearing?
feet and mouth
A snake doesn't really 'smell' to say the least. They have a special organ in the nasal cavity of their skulls called the Jacobson's Organ. When they flick their tongue out, they use that organ to sense any nearby prey or threat. So in a sense, they 'smell' while they taste the air.
You can have a pet squirrel in CT, but it is not really legal. Use caution when trying to keep a wild animal as a pet.
It's the Jacobsons Organ
The olfactory receptors at the back of the nasal chamber.

Your nose.
A snake uses its forked tongue to collect scents and then flicks them into the Jacobson's organ on the roof of the mouth.
Squirrel monkeys also use olfactory (smell)/ chemical communication. The ‘urine-washing’ display is found in males and females of any age, and can be used to signal dominance, or for self-cleaning, or for enhanced gripping on branches. So in the wild they probably do stink.
