Snake eggs in each person evoke certain emotions. Some are disgusted, others - fear, and others - awe. And so on ad infinitum. In a word, all sensations are so different that there are not enough words for descriptions. Meanwhile, the eggs of reptiles have various uses, and not only in practice. Legends are made up of them, where they are presented as serious ancient artifacts. Now we will get to know them in more detail.
Where can I find snake eggs? Fans of channels about animals probably often saw them on the screens of their TVs. Some special lucky ones could observe the reproduction of reptiles in their terrarium, and therefore the development of offspring that begins with eggs. However, the belief that all snakes reproduce by egg laying is erroneous. For example, explosive or aquatic representatives of their species are viviparous. The maximum number of cubs that a female can produce at one time is 75. But those snakes that lay their eggs can please the world with a large number of offspring. For example, there was a case in India when a python left 107 children after itself!
In shape, snake eggs are quite different from chicken. They have a not so hard shell and are more elongated. However, this helps snakes survive. The shell of chicken eggs is quite fragile, which can not be said about snakes. Despite the fact that it is soft, its strength is at a high level, it is comparable to the skin of these reptiles. As for the size itself, it all depends on the length of the adult. Some representatives of snakes have a small footage, therefore their eggs will be small, much smaller than that of hens. And if we are talking about a large python, then the size may exceed the chicken egg.
Rarely what kind of snake eggs will the parents guard. This is due to the fact that they are deposited in large quantities. Thus, care for their offspring is expressed in a quantitative sense. However, sometimes you can see a snake that guards its masonry. There is a certain type of reptile laying a small number of eggs. And then they need to monitor future cubs, because otherwise their appearance may be in jeopardy. Do not underestimate small snakes, especially those that are poisonous. For example, even a king cobra cub will be able to kill a person if the latter is not provided with timely assistance.
If you have never seen, but you are interested in what snake eggs look like, the photo will satisfy your curiosity. However, true pleasure can be obtained only after you touch them. Appearance, although it differs from the usual for us, cannot convey all the subtleties, as the touch will do.
In many Asian countries, snake eggs are eaten. Experienced tourists say that their taste is vaguely reminiscent of potatoes. In any case, if you find yourself, for example, in Thailand, then be sure to verify the veracity of their stories, even if for this you have to overpower yourself. Indeed, in Russia it is impossible to get such pleasure.
