Is it true that snakes are deaf and can only sense vibrations through the ground, not airborne sound?

No. A peer-reviewed review states snakes are not deaf and are actually most sensitive to airborne vibrations, detecting both airborne and groundborne sound; a 2023 controlled experiment found snakes of several genera responded behaviorally to airborne sounds that produced no ground vibration.
