To find food, the snake has to find it. They use their Jacobson's organ(an internal organ that allows snakes to locate their food by "smelling" it) or their "belly" scales to pinpoint their meal using the prey's vibrations(movements). Once the prey is found, the snake forms a "S" and strikes its meal and injects venom; this making the small animal more managable for the snake.

Snakes will use their tongue to track the scent of their food, and some have pits to detect the heat signature of their prey. Each species have different tracking behaviors. For example, blood pythons are ambush predators that wait for prey to come to them before striking and coiling around them.
