Corn Snake laying an egg
Where do snakes lay their eggs? The female lays the eggs underground in loose soil or sand, which acts as a natural incubator. She lays them and then abandons them, unless she is a cobra or a python. Depending on the species, a female snake can lay anywhere from two eggs to one hundred in a clutch.
Does a snake egg have a yolk? Snake eggs do not have that. A snake egg has a yolk that looks and feels like custard. Since there is no egg white, the only things that are inside a snake egg are the yolk and the embryo. For both chicken and snake eggs, it is possible for the egg not to be fertilized.
How do snakes lay eggs? Eggs are expelled from the uterus through uterine and cloacal contractions. A snake will lift its tail and lay eggs! She will lay all of her eggs in a pile and they will stick to each other. Snakes lay either soft (i.e. pliable-shelled) or hard eggs.
