  • Note that the wheels are entirely passive (i.e. not driven); this is an exaggeration of the non-isotropic friction of snake's skin during the serpentine gait. The snake locomotes forward due entirely to its change in internal shape.

  • i think that the snakes having wheels defeats the purpose of it being a snake
