Snakes are extremely cool and diverse reptiles. With over 2,500 different types, snakes occupy every continent except for Antarctica. It sure is chilly there! Unlike us humans, snakes smell with their tongues by picking up chemicals in their environment. They are also able to shed their skin, so they have a new coat every few months.
