Only certain snakes have this ability...........those that are classified as "Pit Vipers" are the most famous.
Others include various (but not all) boas and pythons that have these pits along the ridge of their mouth......called "labial pits"

Snakes do not have very god eye sight
They can only see shadows
Their big sense that they use often is smell
So no they cannot notice a red light only day light

They cannot see it but, as obilysk says, they may be able to use other senses.
