Snake meat would indeed be tough due the configuration of the musculature necessary for each rib to move each belly scale which is a snake's form of locomotion.

This is why the leg/shoulder/rump cuts of beef are tough.

The more the muscle is used, the 'harder' it gets.

Makes perfect sense in theory, but there must be exceptions - perhaps based on the method of cooking. I've had fried rattlesnake on quite a few occasions and never considered it to be tough.
