Assuming you mean 'why do snakes flick out their tongue'... It's basically a sensory organ. The snake is 'tasting' the air. Each side of the the fork is independent from the other. When the snake flicks out its tongue, it collects microscopic scent particles from the air. Withdrawing the tongue into its mouth, there is a sensitive group of nerves in a 'pocket' where the snake inserts the tips. This translates the scent into messages for the snakes brain. The minuscule difference in strength of the scent on either side of the tongue enables the snake to follow the stronger scent to locate its prey.
