    As for detecting vibrations, we lived next to a set of train tracks for a year, the snakes knew the trains were coming long before we did.

    They would get really unsettled for a while every time.

    Vibrations are picked up through the ground and 'resonated' in the lower jaw... this is as close as snakes come to hearing.
    Garter snakes have good vision compared to many snakes, but not so good compared to us.
