Every part of a snake’s body is covered with scales, including the eyes. The outer layer of the skin of snake consists of dead cells which must be shed as the snake grows. In snakes, the entire layer of old skin is shed at one time. When the new skin is ready, the snake secretes a fluid under the old skin to make it easier for it to wriggle out.
