  5. Most snakes lay eggs. I think theres like one or two species that give live births, though I think i may be thinking of a different reptile for the live birth.

  6. some kind that i am not very sure of acctually give staight birth no eggs.

    yeah.

  7. Although a wide range of reproductive modes are used by snakes; all snakes employ internal fertilization, accomplished by means of paired, forked hemipenes, which are stored inverted in the male's tail.[43] The hemipenes are often grooved, hooked, or spined in order to grip the walls of the female's cloaca.[43]

    Most species of snake lay eggs, and most of those species abandon them shortly after laying; however, individual species such as the King cobra actually construct nests and stay in the vicinity of the hatchlings after incubation.[43] Most pythons coil around their egg-clutches after they have laid them and remain with the eggs until they hatch.[44] The female python will not leave the eggs, except to occasionally bask in the sun or drink water and will generate heat to incubate the eggs by shivering.[44]

    Some species of snake are ovoviviparous and retain the eggs within their bodies until they are almost ready to hatch.[45][46] Recently, it has been confirmed that several species of snake are fully viviparous, such as the boa constrictor and green anaconda, nourishing their young through a placenta as well as a yolk sac, which is highly unusual among reptiles, or anything else outside of placental mammals.[45][46] Retention of eggs and live birth are most often associated with colder environments, as the retention of the young within the female.[43][46

  12. Most lay eggs. There are only a few that have live births and most of them are venomous snakes.

    Rattlesnakes have live births and the babies are born with venom glands and are actually more dangerous then the adults.

  19. It depends. Some species of snake lay eggs. Some have live birth. And still some have what i call "modified eggs" were the babies are incubated inside the mom for most of their time before being born but a few weeks before they are going to be birthed out by the mom the mom lays eggs which are more like water ballons with fully formed embroys inside. So 90% of the incubation is spent in the moms tummy and then the rest of the time they are in an "egg"

  20. Some snakes lay eggs and hatch them out.  (example ball pythons)

    Some snakes give live birth (example red tail boa constrictors)

  21. They lay eggs.

  22. they lay eggs out their A$$ hole which is located on their belly before their tails.

  23. most snakes lay eggs. but some, such as some species of anaconda, give birth to live young and then leave them.
