eggs Snakes are oviparous,means who lay eggs & after hatching the newborn emerges.But few advance snakes like,the viper adapts ovoviviparity,means they retain eggs inside their body until hatched, thus producing live babies like mammals.But truly not like mammals as there lie no involvement of any placenta like structure.

no

Well, they do start out with a "button" on the end of their tail under which new rattle segments for with each shed. On older individuals, the button has almost always been broken off. They cannot rattle with just one segment but with two segments or more and they have a very high-pitched rattle.

Rattle snakes DO NOT lay eggs and the HAVE more than four at a time. We killed one last month and pulled 13 babies from her belly, after the first one came out of her while removing it. She had a total of 14 babies. Don't know any other way to say it, but the way I see it, they birth the young the same way we do. No eggs attached, just each is in their own little sack. I have pictures to prove as well.

Rattlesnakes are born with a single button, which is silent. Each time they shed their skin they will add another segment. After they add a couple segments they can then produce the rattle sound.

The simple answer is - they don't ! Once the young snakes arrive, they are completely independent and equipped with highly potent venom - ready you subdue their first meal.

Rattlesnakes give live birth. The eggs are retained inside the body of the female until they hatch. The term is ovoviviparous.

Rattlesnakes do not lay eggs. The female holds the eggs inside her body and the young are then hatched and born alive. Rattlesnakes are ovoviviparous.

Rattlesnakes do not lay eggs. Instead, the shell-less eggs are held inside the body of the female until they are ready to be born alive.
