It depends what species you're referring to - It could be anywhere from a few inches (for the species called a 'Flowerpot snake') right up to 30-plus feet (for a full-grown Reticulated python) !

Depends on the type of snake. Some can be just 30 cm long, but others can be 5 metres long (or longer).

Snakes have unhinged jaws which means that they are not connected, so they can open their mouths however wide they want.

It depends on the size of the snake. If the snake is small, the head will be small. If the snake is big, the head will be big.

The fangs are in their mouths. Vipers have fangs that fold in their mouths and are partiall covered by a fleshy sheath, though still very apparentin an open mouth.
