I could say walked instead because technically, they *are* ‘walking’.

Each belly scale is attached to a rib which moves in an amazingly complex fashion, causing the belly scale to grip and propel the snake forward.

Rather than having no “feet”, they have hundreds of them.

They are quite a miracle of bio-engineering.
