How does Nagini get up the stairs?

[Daisy]

At the beginning of this book Frank Bryce is on the second floor of the Riddle House - listening to Voldermort and Wormtail talking, when he comes face to face with Voldermort's snake; Nagini.

I was wondering, how did the snake climb up the stairs? Just thought it would be fun to come up with some theories. :) Thanks...

large snakes can poise points in their bodies at an upward incline, add that to slithering and it can move up stairs

[Sophie]

Maybe they have a lift ;)

[Anna]

Ha ha Sophie. :D A snake lift. I like that.

Snakes have really strong stomach muscles that grip the ground and moves them forward(actually it depends on the type of snake like desert snakes( at least most of them) launch them selfs for ward on the sand) but big sakes like that grip the ground with there muscles and move forward so she could just lift there head on the like second stare and use the stomach muscles to lift up. I used to have a snake an they are STRONG!

Voldemort had a ramp installed for snakes and those in wheelchairs. Voldemort cares about compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act.

I <3 this discussion so much.

If a snake can climb a tree, I'm sure a few stairs are no trouble at all.

Me too. What you said about Voldy is like how he cares about Harry's education (always got to wait till the end of the school year to attack him!)

Really, snakes can climb trees?

Some, like the tree boa and the flying snake( it doesn't acutely fly it Jody spreads out its rib cage and glides to a lower branch(which is still pretty cool)) most snakes can climb trees! But most don't like to.

Well, you learn something new everyday!

Slithered? She's a medium-large snake; she can get up stairs. . . . I don't get the question I guess. Nagini's a snake. She went up.

[Rachel]

He's huge, the stairs aren't that steep. I'll say it's possible.

[Susana]

slithered. she's a snake (an evil magic snake) after all not a Dalek.
