At the tail, the ribs are replaced with transverse and double muscles. In the rattlesnake, 7-8 end vertebrae bulge and become one.

The snake's skull stands out by its solid skull cavity with its jaw bent, wide enough that it can swallow a large prey.

The skeleton of this creature has a double vertebrae without ribs. Except 2-3 head vertebrae, the vertebrae in the tail are attached with long, curved ribs that can move flexibly.

The vertebrae fit together by 8 clues, in addition to the arc shape support frame. They are joined together by key chains like a dreaming in carpentry.

Picture 6 of Snake bones

The prefrontal part is between the forehead and the upper jaw bone and is not attached to the nasal cavity. The lower jaw consists of only one and connects to the upper jaw with a ligament.

The palate is elongated and parallel to the cranial axis. In some cases, the cranial bone in the skull bends and is connected by two branches of the lower jaw.
