Do snakes breathe?

Answer 1

Thats a stupid question of course they do!

Answer 2

Snakes should only breath through their nostrils. If they breath through their mouth, they either have blocked nostrils due to a bad shed or a respiratory infection. Most snakes have one main lung and a much smaller, unused lung although some snakes do have two functional lungs.

When their mouths are closed, they have a groove on the top of their mouths that line up with the glottis on the bottom jaw. The air enters their nostrils and then the glottis to their lungs. When a snake eats, the glottis can extend in order for them to continue to breath while their mouth is full.

Answer 3

Yes. They have two lungs, although they tend to be long and skinny, and one is generally 'in front' of the other. one tends to be bigger, as well.

You can see the snake breath if you watch about a fourth of the way down its body. They usually breath slowly, but they do breath.

Answer 4
