Snakes have a very unique skull that is made up of many separate bones. Both the upper and lower jaws are split into two parts each (left side and right side), and the cranium is also separate. The bones are held together by flexible ligaments, but they do not lock into place in the way that most other animals’ skulls do. This makes the snake’s skull incredibly flexible, and the jaw is able to stretch widely in multiple directions.
