Snakes, and in fact all reptiles, are cold blooded. This means they can't independently increase or decrease their body temperature and need an external source (the sun, for example) to do so. This means Antarctica, with its polar climate, is way too cold for them to survive in. If they did live in Antarctica their blood would freeze up almost instantly. Also, there isn't a stable food source for snakes to survive on in Antarctica. This is why you won't find snakes, or indeed any type of reptile, in Antarctica.
