FACT FOR THE WEEK :) Smell - The fork tongue of a snake cannot harm or sting in any way and is used only for smelling. The tongue pushes through a groove in the front of the mouth and is flickered, in order to pick up particles in the air. When it is drawn back into the mouth these particles are deposited onto organs situated in the roof of the mouth, known as the organs of Jacobson. In the next few weeks I will be posting snake biology and behaviour on the page - so if anyone wants any specific information, feel free to ask. Have a fantastic week everyone :)
