Sidewinding means that short-bodied snakes such as the Egyptian asp (Cerastes cerastes), the Namib desert viper (Bitis peringueyi), and the American desert rattlesnake, or sidewinder (Crotalus cerastes) can move fast over smooth sandy surfaces while preventing most of their body from coming into contact with the hot soil surface (see figure 67).
