I was under the impression the vomeronasal organ / Jacobson's organ was in/under the nasal cavity.
The part on the roof of the Snakes mouth One small cavity(two total) for each part of the fork tongue to receive the smells.

The glottis is located just behind the tongue and the Jacob's Organ is located in the front upper half of the roof of the snakes mouth.

I shouldn't have written that.
I knew that at one point too, in my younger days.
It must be all beer I've drank in recent years.
