[5] [6] Although it was originally believed that the ribs moved in a "walking" pattern during rectilinear movement, studies have shown that the ribs themselves do not move, only the muscles and the skin move to produce forward ...

5. Concertina movement - Wikipedia

   Concertina movement is the method by which a snake or other organism anchors itself with sections of itself and pulls or pushes with other sections to move in the direction it wants to go. To spring forward a snake may require a rough surface to thrust back against. [1] [2] It is named after the concertina musical instrument. [citation needed]

   The function of these folds is to permit the circumference of the snake to increase, allowing prey to pass into the stomach during feeling. [10] Snakes differ from eels in the direction in which the skin is stiffer, the dorsal scale rows are more flexible in snake than in eels because the dorsal scale row associated with stretching.
