Ok, this one your a little naïve on, most snakes spend MOST of their lives underground in the dark, total darkness, they do not need lite to move around. In fact, many snakes shy away from lite, some even refuse to move when the moon us full.(just as a example)

What your missing is a full understanding of the tongue. Read up on snake tongues and related J organ. (google it up)

Put it this way, if a rattlesnake can track a rodent that it has bitten, what else can it smell?????????
