Climbing snakes fold up like a harmonica

-

The forepart and hind part of the body take turns to get a grip in a harmonica-like motion, as snakes move from one branch to the next.

1. First, the snake folds up its body.

2. Subsequent­ly, the snake moves the front part of its body forwards.

3. When the snake has gotten a good grip at its front end, it will move the back of its body forward.
