Snakes have long tongues because that is how they smell and see. They use the tongue as one of their senses; that is why it is always going in and out of their mouth.

Do all snakes use their tongues to help them smell odors?

Yes, all snakes use their tongues to help them detect odors, a process known as chemoreception. By flicking their tongues in and out, snakes collect scent particles from the air and then transfer them to the Jacobson's organ, a specialized sensory structure in the roof of their mouth. This allows them to "taste" the environment and locate prey, mates, or identify threats.
