Why don't snakes have legs?


Rate This Answer

Snakes are elongate, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes that can be distinguished from legless lizards by their lack of eyelids and external ears. They have no legs because that's how they are!

Snakes don't have legs because that is the way God created them. Snakes move quicker with the body type they have now.
