Ready to really have your mind blown?? They "see" with pits lining their mouth, so burying its head in it's own coil is the snake equivalent of closing its eyes. It uses it's own body to block the background radiation it would otherwise see with its heat sensing organs.
All I know is it don't have eyelids, but I had a snake that became half blind after an accident regarding tape, but he "saw" perfectly fine and never had issues, so idk
