Snakes Up Close

Meet the Snakes

Snakes are reptiles. They have long bodies and no legs. Dry scales cover a snake from nose to tail. A snake flicks its tongue in and out to smell the air. Snakes often bask on rocks in the sun to warm up.

Photo: A garter snake basks on a flat rock.

Moving Without Legs

How does a snake move with no legs? It bends its body from side to side. It pushes against rocks and bumps in the ground.

Photo: This snake wraps its body around a branch to climb.

Time for New Skin

A snake grows, but the outer layer of its skin does not. So the snake sheds the old layer. It rubs its nose on a rock to loosen the skin. Then it crawls out.

Photo: This old skin came off in one long piece.
