Why Sneks?

What are sneks? Why are they so popular? Read along to find out!

Snek is internet speak for snake. It's a term of endearment for our slithery friends, often featured in cute and funny memes!

They're not just 'snakes'... they're 'danger noodles', 'nope ropes', or 'hazard spaghetti'! They do a 'mlem' with their tongue and a 'boop' with their snoot.

Remember: 'No step on snek!' These charming creatures have slithered their way into the heart of internet culture. Handle with care and many boops (if they allow!).

Sneks Smell with Their Tongues!

Sneks use their forked tongues to collect airborne particles, then pass them to the Jacobson's organ in the roof of their mouth for examination.

Some Sneks Give Live Birth

While many sneks lay eggs, some species, like boas and garter sneks, are viviparous, meaning they give birth to live young.

Sneks Don't Have Eyelids

Instead of eyelids, sneks have a transparent scale called a brille that protects their eyes. This is why they can't blink!

The Longest Snek

The Reticulated Python holds the record for the world's longest snek, with some individuals reportedly exceeding 10 meters (33 feet)!

Jaw-Dropping Meals!

Sneks can swallow prey much larger than their heads! Their jaw ligaments are super stretchy, allowing for impressive dining feats.

Heat Vision Sneks!

Many sneks, like pit vipers, have heat-sensing pits to 'see' the warmth of their prey, even in total darkness!
