Snakes reproduce mainly in two ways: oviparous and viviparous. Oviparous snakes lay eggs that incubate outside their bodies, usually in underground nests or warm shelters.
Viviparous snakes retain eggs in their bodies and give birth to live offspring. Reproduction involves mating, where a male transfers sperm to the female.
Then, oviparous females lay eggs, while viviparous ones give birth to young offspring that are already developed. This process ensures the survival and diversity of snake species.
