How do males snakes find female snakes in the tall grass?

Answer 1

Very satisfying.

Answer 2

Given that the grass is more than 4 centimeters high, most female snakes send out a a pulsating rhythm and make a grunting sound when in search of male companionship. The grunting sound comes from deep within their bellies, and the pulsating rhythm comes from a snapping of their fingers. The rhythm is easily recognizeable as about the same beat as the one in that rock and roll song, " We Will, We Will Rock You." These snapping finger sounds and grunts may be heard for long distances by interested snakes.

Male snakes have a pizza pie shapped organ just below their tongue which is highly sensitive to rhythmic beats and snapping. The brain of the snake uses signals from this organ to home in on the sender. The snake's tongue must move out of the way of the Tomtomulary Organ for sounds to be effectivly received. That is the reason why snakes often shoot out their tongue as they slide along in the grass. They are listening to the rhythms around them.
If you have seen one doing this, the chances are pretty good that it was a male looking for a female sender.

Snakes also have a very strict dress code. Certain days of the week are reserved for striped attire, while others permit checkered dress. That is why you will see some snakes with checks on them and on other days you will see striped skin designs everywhere. Inappropriate dress for the day is strictly forbidden and often punished by death. Condemmed snakes guilty of this crime are herded to the nearest highway and forced to cross the road in front of passing automobiles and trucks.

Answer 3

I'm sure that the females must have a special "smell" that the male snakes can sense. Also, I don't think they have a problem with the tall grass as far as looking for a mate.

Answer 4

Using their super sense of taste and/or smell.

Pit-vipers have a heat-sensitive organ between the eyes and the nostrils about 0.5 cm deep. This organ has a membrane containing 7,000 nerve endings that respond to temperature changes as small as 0.002-0.003 degrees centigrade. A rattlesnake can detect a mouse 40 cm away if the mouse is 10 degrees centigrade above the outside temperature.

The tongue of snakes has no taste buds. Instead, the tongue is used to bring smells and tastes into the mouth. Smells and tastes are then detected in two pits, called "Jacobson's organs", on the roof of their mouths. Receptors in the pits then transmit smell and taste information to the brain.

Answer 5

By smell. Snakes smell with thier tounge,wich is why it is usually flickering in and out.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure they smell each other's ...hormones?? with their tongues. Cause, you know how male and female animals have their own pheromones.
