Breathe Deeply

Q: With snakes where does there gas exchange take place? and How does oxygen and carbon dioxide get carried around the body?

A: Snakes have a lung (they only have one that's functional) just as we do to make the oxygen exchange from air to blood. They also have blood that circulates within their body to provide oxygen to all of the cells. Thanks for asking.
