While snake vision is unremarkable (generally being best in arboreal species and worst in burrowing species), it is able to detect movement. Some snakes, like the Asian vine snake, have binocular vision. In most snakes, the lens moves back and forth within the eyeball to focus. In addition to their eyes, some snakes (pit vipers, pythons, and some boas) have infrared-sensitive receptors in deep grooves between the nostril and eye which allow them to "see" the radiated heat.
Snakes have no external ears, but they do have a bone called the quadrate under the skin on either side of the head which focuses sound into the cochlea.[1] Their sense of hearing is most sensitive to frequencies around 200–300 Hz.
A snake smells by using its forked tongue to collect airborne particles then passing them to the Jacobson's organ in the mouth for examination. The fork in the tongue gives the snake a sort of directional sense of smell. The part of the body which is direct contact with the surface of the ground is very sensitive to vibration thus a snake able to sense a person approaching.
Transparent eye caps protect the lidless eyes of snakes. Racers, whipsnakes, indigos, and some other species that are active during the day have excellent vision. Blind snakes can distinguish only light and dark. Most nocturnal snakes, such as Copperheads, Night Snakes, and rattlesnakes, have vertical pupils that expand in low light.
they see really well for how they see. their eyes are superb for picking up motion. They would kinda see like a fuzzy black and white T.V. it would be awfull for us but they can detect the slightest quiver. They use this with their senses of smell and taste and heat (vipers have heat pits on their nose)with their tounge to detect the exact spot of prey. They can feel and sense so well they can actually pinpoint arteries and feel the blood pumping in their prey such as mice.
they almost cannot see at all they feel vibrations in the ground and their toungue is ultra sensitive it can feel heat off your body from ten feet away

They do have eyes, but they mainly find there way by sence of smell and taste. Yes the tounge can sence heat and smell

They see with their eye,not clearly but they detect the heat released by the body of their prey,seeing red spots
They may see in infra-red as well as on our light spectrum or only in one or the other, its hard to say for certain

eyes ,clearly at night sdome can sense heat
They have eyes, they have a extra set of clear eye covers (like our eye lids) that protect their eyes
They have heat sensors..I don't believe they have the best eyesight but I could be wrong.
