They slither to emulate the tentacles of their Creator, the FSM. ;-)
I'd say it began when their politics turned liberal ;)
Thanks for the ping!
"Burrowing Snakes: Only a few can truly dig out burrows, adaptations include: blunt noses protected by large tough scales or spade-shaped heads to dig with; a powerful tail, spined or armoured to push against in tight spaces; heads not differentiated from the body and fused head and scales to minimise friction. They scoop soil out with loops of their body. True burrowing snakes are found where the ground is warm. Most snakes can dig through loose soil to make a hidey hole or dig out prey. They do this by the concertina method to pile-drive into the soil. Snakes also happily use holes and burrows already dug out by other creatures or even share them with a current tenant: the Burmese Rock Python may share the burrow of a porcupine."
