Do snakes grow vertebrae?

Snakes are vertebrates, the number of vertebra is established by their very ancient genetic heritage, there is no mechanism for adding new vertebrae as the snake grows. Interestingly, the same is true of giraffe, they have the same number of cervical (neck) vertebrae as you or I, they are just much, much longer.
