Why do snakes have no legs And why do they shed their skin2007-11-24 2:04:50Answers:

THey shed their skin as they grow larger, because their skin does not grow. It is believed they evolved from burrowing lizards that did have legs, but as they spent more of their time underground the legs gradually disappeared, as they were not necessary in that environment.


why do you have no life??
Snakes have no legs because God condemned them to crawl on their bellies.

Genesis 3:14

"Cursed are you above all the livestock

and all the wild animals!

You will crawl on your belly

and you will eat dust

all the days of your life.
