They can dislocate their jaw so can swallow large prey. Their mouth doesn't 'find' food per say but in the roof of their mouths snakes have something called a Jacobson's organ, when the snake flicks it's tongue it is essentially 'tasting' the air. As the tongue goes back into the mouth it rubs against the Jacobson's organ and the scents are converted into information. Using this the snake can tell whether prey is about or not
