Just saw a post on the popular page, “Snake moving in a straight line freak me out’. It made me realize that I have no idea how snakes move. How do snakes move when they don’t have any legs or other limbs?

It’s similar to how worms move, if you watch a worm move you can see it’s skin stretching forward and the rest of the body following. Snakes do this on a smaller scale using their belly scales that can move semi independently.
