Snakes both give live birth and lay eggs. The way that snakes reproduce depends on the species. There are three main “reproductive modes” for snakes: 1. Oviparityoccurs when most of the embryonic development occurs outside of the mother- like in an egg and refers to animals that lay eggs. 2. Viviparity occurs when embryonic development occurs insid...
Considering that snakes have no arms or legs, you may have wondered how snakes manage to mate. This is certainly a popular question! Male snakes have hemipenes, in other words male snakes may have two or more penises that are kept inside their body except for when it’s time to breed. Male snakes will wrap their tails around the tail of a female sna...
Most of the time, mothers lay their eggs and then let nature take its course. By reproducing this way, mothers do not have to use as much energy caring for their young which allows them to go on and have many babies or clutches of eggs throughout their lifetime. However, some snake mothers invest a little bit more time and effort than others.
Sea snakes
Sea snakes are venomous snakesthat are in the same family as Cobras, King Cobras, and Coral Snakes. Sea snakes are one of the only groups of snakes that are truly viviparous and not ovoviparous. The ocean is not the best place to lay eggs as you could imagine, which is why sea snakes give live birth.
Anacondas
Anacondas are distantly related to Pythons, however Anacondas are ovoviviparous and give live birth. However, when baby Anacondas are born, they come out still in the yolk sack that they developed in. When they are born, they need to break out of the yolk sack before they are able to slither away.
Rattlesnakes
Rattlesnakes, like other Pit vipers are also ovoviparous, where the babies will essentially hatch while still inside of the mother. Rattlesnakes may give birth to up to 10 babies depending on the species.
In conclusion, snake reproduction can be a lot more complicated than people may assume. Depending on the species, snakes may lay eggs (oviparity), give live birth (viviparity) or even give birth to the remnants of an egg sack that had developed internally (ovoviviparity). Not only that, but the level of care and effort that goes into laying eggs an...
