Best Answer

Instead of taste buds, snakes have a set of small openings on the roof of their mouths that have olfactory nerve endings, where a snake can smell-taste a prey animal or another snake or lizard. The ends of the forked tongue fit into grooves of the Jaconbson's Organ which is where the scent particles are processed.
