How do snakes lay their eggs and where does the eggs come out of?

Answer 2

Not all snakes lay eggs, some have live babies.

Answer 3

Snakes lay their eggs the same way a bird does. After mating, when the eggs are fertilized, they are coated in shell and then laid. They emerge from the cloaca, the single hole birds and reptiles use to excrete, mate and lay eggs. The act of mating differs in that most birds do not have a p***s - ducks and ostriches are a couple that do - and mate simply by pressing their cloacas together. In contrast, snakes (and lizards) possess two penises (sometimes called hemipenes), one of which is inserted into the female's cloaca during mating.

Incidentally, not all snakes lay eggs. Some, like boas and pit vipers, give birth to live young. Snakes exhibit little parental care - most egg-layers simply lay their eggs (usually underground) and leave them to hatch. King cobras make a nest out of leaves and other vegetation, and guard it until a few days before the eggs hatch, when they leave (king cobras feed on other snakes, and presumably leave before the hatching to avoid the chance of eating their own young). Pythons remain with their eggs until they hatch, curled around them to protect and help warm them. After hatching, the young remain with the mother for a few days before dispersing. This is also common in live-bearing species.

Answer 4

the eggs (or young, depending on species) come out through the cloaca.

snakes will build nests near water, or under rocks to lay the eggs. cobras actually build a nest out of leaves and guard the clutch until right before they hatch.

Answer 6

They find places like under stones or branches to lay their eggs at.

They lay their eggs the same way they take a dump or have s*x.At the near end of their tails there is a cut, pretty much like an a**s, and the eggs come from that.

I think Wiki can explain better:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake

Answer 7

there is a really small hole at the end of the snake, its not right at the end its underneath, about 3-5 inches from the end.
