No, although they do have vestigial limbs that do are not visible beneath their skin. Snakes move about in a number of different fashions, depending on the species.
Some use large scales on their bellies to grip surfaces, while others use a "slithering" motion of bending their body and pushing off against small objects and rough surfaces. Still others use a motion called "side winding" which is really hard to describe without showing some sort of picture. Basically, the fold their body into loops and sort of "tiptoe" from one loop to the next, while moving sideways. There are also types of snakes that "fly" by gliding in the same way a "flying" squirrel does, and snakes that burrow underground like worms.

Actually some snakes do have limbs, in particular anacondas and other constrictors. These species retain a vestigal pelvic girdle and hind limbs. So yes some snakes do have feet.

None that I know of. There are legless lizards that look like snakes though.
And I found this interesting Indian story about a snake with feet.

Normally the snakes don't have feet. But pythons have residual structures like legs left in them. Giving us a hint that they once had feet. But it is now vestigial organs of python.

depends on what you consider feet. Some snakes have spurs which some people call remnent legs, however i would not consider them feet. The spurs are used for mating purposes.

That depends on how long they are. If they are 12 inch they have a foot. For every 12 inches they get another foot. So if they are 24 inches they have 2 feet, 36 inches = 3feet. etc. etc. LOL.

not per- say.it is believed however that they may hane han leggs at one time.most spesies of snakes, and whales for that matter still have a small hipbone structure that seems to have no use any-longer.many scientists believe that due to the process of evolution ; these animals mey not have been the same as we know them now.

NO. However the male has a special sex organ that is a modified foot, so technically most male snakes have only one.

nope they have scales man, and they come in various designs according the nature of the snake.
eg: tree dwelling snakes have different scale structures than the sidewinder which lives on the desert.
