The Snake's Eyes. Snakes may almost be said to have glass eyes, inasmuch as their eyes never close. They are without lids, and each is covered with a transparent scale, much resembling glass. When the reptile casts its outer skin, the eye scales come of! with the rest of the transparent envelope out of which the snake slips. His glassy eye scale is so tough that it effectually protects the true eye from the twigs, sharp grass, and other obstructions which the snake encounters in its travels.yet it is transparent enough to allow the most perfect vision. Thus, if the snake has not n glass eye, it may be said to wear eyeglasses. Smuggler's Devices.
