snakes move in 3 ways

serpentine motion when it uses it's whole body to "wiggle" or use an "S" like motion to move......

and it can pull itself along with a "wormlike" motion by moving half it's body at a time (more or less).

and by using the scales to pull itself forward....

...........it's in a plastic box....I'm sure it can use all 3 methods to go 34 inches..........

...........even with the bald belly.........
