Snakes have no external ears, but they do have a bone called the quadrate under the skin on either side of the head which focuses sound into the cochlea.[2] Their sense of hearing is most sensitive to frequencies around 200–300 Hz.

No snakes cannot hear anything because they do not have ears. Being reptiles they creep along the ground and detect sound through their scales[footfalls]. They also find their bearing by their flickering tongue and taste the air. I do not think you can talk to them but you can communicate and train them. Snakes are cold blooded and like the warmth of your body and so you can let them curl around your wrist.[only non venomous] On no account experiment with venomous types.

Snakes don't have ears, they only feel the vibrations of the movement around them.
