The forked tongue is used to smell. When they stick their tongues out, they are collecting scent molecules on the ends of the fork. Then, they draw their tongues back in and put them in special pits in the roof of their mouth. These pits act like our noses do, and detect what kinds of molecules and how many of them there are on the tongue.
The fangs are hollow and connected to venom sacks near the eyes of the snake. When a snake bites something, it uses the muscles around the venom sacks to pump the venom through its fangs and into whatever it bites. This is if the snake is poisonous.
