Yes they do.
With there tongue! They flick their tongue in and out of their mouth to sence the air when the tongue is out it picks up scents and when it is flicked back into the mouth it rubs against the jacobsons organ which converts the sences and allows the snake to understand its surroundings

It's a 'sensory organ'. It basically takes the form of two 'pockets' in the roof of the snakes mouth. When the snake flicks out its tongue, microscopic scent particles stick to it. Withdrawing the tongue back into its mouth, the tips are inserted into the Jacobson's organ, and the snake's brain decodes the information.
The Nose.
The Jacobson's Organ - is a sensitive 'pit' located in the roof of a reptiles mouth. When a reptile flicks out it's tongue, tiny scent particles stick to it - and are drawn back into the mouth. the tips of the tongue are placed into the Jacobson's Organ, and the reptile 'analyses' the scent. This organ is so sensitive - it can even distinguish if the scent on one side of the forked tongue is stronger than the other side !
