Can a snake see?
Snakes all see their environment differently. Most have relatively poor vision; those that burrow especially. All snakes' eyes contain rods, but some also possess cones. The rods sense light intensity e.g. white/black, and bright/dim. The varieties that also have cones see a bit more sharply, whereas the other "rod only" species have rather fuzzy vision. Certain snakes possess 2 special organs on their heads adjacent to their eyes that allow them to sense heat within specific radius. Thus, these snakes can not only see objects in black and white like an old movie, but they can perceive a thermal image of anthing that gives off heat as well. Scientists theorize that these snakes perceive a mental image that would appear something like how the Predator saw in the Arnold movie. Although the majority of snakes which possess these pit organs are poisonous (pit vipers) there are non-poisonous species, too, that have these special organs: Boas and pythons.
