Wrong!
The snake's tongue is an olfactory (sense of smell) organ.
they smell with them. They stick the tongue out and then move each forked half into pockets in their head. There are sensors in the pockets that act like smelling. That is why their tongues are always going into the air and back into their heads.
Snakes use their tongues to collect chemicals in the air which they transfer to a special organ in their mouth called the Jacobson's organ. This helps them to "taste" the environment, locate prey, and navigate their surroundings.
Smelling, or a type of smelling and males use it for charming a female snake.
