    The glottis is their wind pipe. I'm sure you've noticed it without knowing what it is, it's that hole thing in their mouth, see it at the bottom of this snakes mouth?

    Glottis:
    Very cool device. When eating a large meal they use strong muscles to push the glottis toward the front of the mouth so they can take a breath.
    Snakes are so cool.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Yeah they're so awesome. I have a video that shows that, but once it's uploaded it's hard to see.

    Re: Clicking and not eating

    Youre right I have seen that many time when they yawn or reajust there jaw. IK thank you also steve for explaing it to me on how the breathe while eating cause I actually thought they held there breath. I always thought that they were just that good at holding it. Thats so awesome. I love the things I learn on here. Thank you very much guys. Like Ive always said BEST FORUMS EVER. You guys are great.
