SNAKES AND THEIR BABIES
How snakes give birth to their babies
 There are two different kinds of snakes:
some lay eggs and some give birth to
live babies.
SNAKES THAT GIVE BIRTH TO LIVE BABIES
Some snakes give
birth to live young:
 all boas,
 all vipers,
 garter snakes.
SNAKES THAT LAY EGGS
Some snakes lay
eggs:
 all pythons,
 king-snakes,
 milk-snakes,
 rat snakes,
 corn snakes.
 All newborn snakes have an egg tooth to break
through the egg shell. The egg tooth falls out the
first time snake sheds its skin.
 Unlike the hard shells of bird and turtle eggs,
snakes eggs are leathery.
RATTLESNAKES
 Rattlesnake eggs will
stay inside their
mother until they
hatch. Most of the
time there are 8-10
babies born at once,
and they are about
10 inches long.
 Babies are born
venomous but
cannot rattle and are
often more
aggressive than the
adults.
