Yeah, there are some VERY strong scent molecules within the lungs that are expelled after every single breath that would probably be taken as an extremely inviting "feast-highway" to snakes. Their Jacobson's organ has to pickup things that we humans couldn't even begin to understand. I mean, look at even animals like "bomb dogs", arson accelerant-smelling dogs, drug dogs, cadaver dogs(even under water), etc..

That little "computer" they have tells them the most minute details of anything even in the general area!

Sort of like a "mass spectrometer" is to a crime lab..LOL!
