I like whatever you're smoking. I suggest we secure some grant money and lab space to find out.

Why settle for lab space, I suggest a space lab.

space lab space

So, lab space in a space lab?

We would end with a (probably) very confused snake floating around

That would impact mobility. Perhaps they prefer static shells (rocks, caves) or invisible shells (camouflage).

That's some original thought there. Did you think of tortoise? Or snail? Or was it just a random thought?

Octopuses do this - but I'm not sure the raw materials for that sort of adaptation exist in the same environments snakes live in.

A random thought.

Snakes could also carry around random objects by coiling their bodies around them and then slithering along, dragging the object with them. They could for instance do this with rocks, carrying them around and stacking them up in piles to form complex structures.

First it was 'snakes in a plane', now 'snakes in a cylinder'...
