What's up with the vents/holes?
Just curious of why bps have vents on their mouths. Probably could have just googled it haha but hey this sight is more interesting. Also are they the only snakes with them?

Pits, Heat pits.
No, many snakes have them. Some more than others.
They are used to pick up heat to help them hunt.

Re: What's up with the vents/holes?
Hmm... I'm actually surprised that you've never heard of them. I grew up watching nature shows and snake heat pits are all the rage when they're showing how these guys hunt. They love to show off the "infrared night vision" that these things provide. Turn on a good snake documentary (or ...sigh... YouTube it) some time and be amazed.
