Nope. The only real reason to chew food is to mix it with digestive juices that flow out of a number of openings in your mouth. The juices are called, 'Saliva', and are important in the digestion of starches.
The snakes' digestion is done completely in the gut, so they simply swallow their food - no chewing.
