Can a snake climb up a glass?

Answers:
I was wondering the same thing yesterday because when I was younger I saw a snake climbing up the back door window without holding on to anything.

---

short distance yes

---

yes yes they can

---

yes but not like a bug or fly once it gets to high and doesn't have enough support on the ground it will come back down

---

Technically, no.
They can LEAN against the glass and climb out that way. But they're not like some bug or something that can stick to the side. Being muscular animals, they can climb very well.
My three and a half ft ball python can climb things up to three ft high! Just leans against the thing and climb climb climbs! ^.^ very cool

It is physically impossible if the glass is vertical, but they can lean on it and appear to be starting to climb but then slide sideways back down. They can't get a good grip. A fly or gecko has sticky pads on the bottom of their feet that allow them to climb, but snakes don't.

No the appear to be climbing up the glass, but they are leaning on it.

Not really--they might lean into the corner of a glass tank while pushing themselves up, and mine sometimes crawl up the middle of one of the tank walls, but they usually fall over once they get so far up. They can't just slither up a vertical piece of glass to escape, if that's what you're asking, although they are very strong and if they're long enough, can easily push up while leaning on the glass and get out of an enclosure without a secure lid.

Not actually climb up the glass, but they will anchor themselves with their tails and extend their upper body up the glass, and if they go too far, they get top heavy and fall. My ball python does this all the time in his tank trying to find a way out...lol.
