Snakes use the scales on their bellies like little feet to push their bodies along the ground. Muscles in the snake make the scales move forward where they will grip the surface they are moving across then they are pulled back moving the snake forward.

∙ 14y agoSnakes don't have legs anymore because they withered away a long time ago. They have strong muscular bodies, which they twist to move about. They use their scales to help. Snakes don't have a fixed body temperature, so they like warming themselves in the sun. In winter and in cold weather they hibernate.
