It's species dependent, but more often than not true! In a lot of snakes (most colubrids for example, which make up roughly 2/3 of all snakes and include Ball Pythons) the left lung technically exists, but evolution reduced it to a non-functioning stump of an organ in order to save space.
Good point; I should have worded it "functioning lung".
